Device Control issue with Device IDs different between Windows 7 and Windows 10

I need a solution

Everyone,

I am trying to implement a Device Control policy (on SEP 14 MP1) to block all USB Mass Storage devices. While I have it mostly working I have come across a small issue.

In my policy I am blocking USBSTOR*

Clients are a mix of Windows 7 and Windows 10 (as well as some Macs but that is another issue for a separate forum post).

During my testing I inserted a Seagate USB Drive and it was not blocked on the Windows 10 laptop but it was on the Windows 7 laptop.

DevViewer on Windows 7

[guid]: {4d36e967-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
[device id]: USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_SEAGATE&PROD_EXPANSION&REV_0707\NA866CZF&0

DevViewer on Windows 10

[guid]: {4d36e967-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
[device id]: SCSI\DISK&VEN_SEAGATE&PROD_EXPANSION\000000

Why are the Device IDs different between the Windows versions and is there an easy way around this? 

Regards

Dean
