Windows 10 1809 changed the default behavior for most endpoints to disable caching. Before that it would trash your data.

I'm pretty sure that was the default even back in windows xp days.

Beginning in Windows 10 version 1809, the default policy is Quick removal. In earlier versions of Windows, the default policy was Better performance.

I just installed windows 7 SP1 in a VM and plugged in a USB drive. The device properties shows "Quick removal (default)".
