Here is the original reply back from Focusrite on my problem. This was back in 2015.

"Hello Joseph,

Thank you for your email.

I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble with your Scarlett 2i4, but happy to help!

This issue has to do with "Fast Boot" in newer versions of Windows. Fast Boot means that when the computer shuts down it doesn't actually do a full and complete shut down, but a Hibernate state, similar to a deeper Sleep Mode. This keeps certain drivers turned on in the hibernate state, like our sound drivers, and then may not reload them properly. Unplugging the unit will cause the driver to unload and reload fresh. Turning off Fast Boot should fix this issue.

Please let me know how you come along. If this doesn't solve your issues, please let us know so that we can help you further.

Best regards.
