A couple of months ago I installed Windows 10 version 1909 in a Linux Mint 19.1 (Tessa) QEMU/KVM guest. Using USB Redirect (aka USB Redirection, virsh attach), a USB to SATA bridge is connected to a SATA optical drive to read discs.
Approximately once an hour, Linux would reset the USB device causing a delay (a few minutes) in reading the disc from Windows 10:
usb 1-1.6: reset high-speed USB device number 8 using ehci-pci
Approximately once every two hours, Linux would disconnect the USB device killing the disc read from Windows 10:
usb 1-1.6: USB disconnect, device number 8
Multiple drives, USB to SATA bridges, cables, power supplies, and discs were tested. It's not a hardware issue or disc issue.
For comparison, using this same Linux Mint 19.1 QEMU/KVM host with a Windows 7 guest and the same optical disc (or any optical disc) is free of issues.
