Hi @Wilfred Eghenedji ,
Also consider changing the registry value:

        ' Disable USB storage  
        Microsoft.Win32.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR", "Start", 4, Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.DWord)  
        ' Enable USB storage  
        Microsoft.Win32.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR", "Start", 3, Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.DWord)  

Make sure you have administrator privileges.
