1455910 2018-11-24 07:40:00 My Win 10 64bit laptop only handles USB2.
I have a Toshiba 8GB USB
In the last few days it has "gone haywire".
It said no files (yet it had heaps).
I reformatted it and copied the files back to it.

Ok for a while then same "folder empty" message.

Today I cannot even format this USB.
I scan it with 360 total Security -says no problems detected.

Is it a case of scrap this USB or is there a free "fix USB" programme?

If I understand you correctly it is a USB plug in flash drive that is giving problems. If so try another one and scrap the current version. They are cheap enough that there is little point in perservering with one that is playing up.

1455912 2018-11-25 01:06:00 Cheers CliveM . I thought as much and had already set up another USB Flash Drive.
I just thought I should not assume in case someone with more Tech skills than me would know of a repair method/programme.
