Steps:

  1. PS C:\> GET-CimInstance -query "SELECT * from Win32_DiskDrive"
  2. PS C:\> .\ddrelease64.exe if=\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1 of=C:\Users\joe\disk.dd

Actual result:
The process is interrupted after a few minutes and not finished, e.g. at a time when screen is locked by Windows due to user inactivity or USB drive is turned off by Windows due to power configuration

Expected result:
The process is run until completed and full disk copy is written the file disk.dd (irrespectively of user inactivity and others - like in case of time-consuming disk formatting by Window's Disk Management utility).

Additional clarifications: the PHYSICALDRIVE1 disk was connected through USB bridge attached to laptop in that case.
