In my x32Win10ProV22H2 desktop tower, I have SATA-connected drives whose power can be switched ON (and OFF) as required. The BIOS has been set to AHCI, so all connected drives should be 'hot-swapable' [or whatever the CORRECT term for that is]. Yet from time to time, newly connected (i.e. newly powered) drives, do not get detected unless I reboot the PC. What tweak will force detection without rebooting ? In vain, I have tried mechanisms involving re-scanning for drives in Disk Management, in DiskPart and in Command Prompt (with 'pnputil /scan-devices') and in Device Manager (Scan for hardware changes). What other options are there ?
