| 1479488 | 2021-08-16 01:11:00 | Windows 10 not recognising external drives or flash drives which work fine on other computers. Is there a simple fix? fix allways depends on the actual cause Cause could be many things test the USB port with a mouse try rear USB ports , or front USB ports remove ALL other USB devices except mouse do you have any mapped drives (Win7 had a bug where if USB wanted to use mapped drive letter it wouldnt show ) disable power save on USB ports , in control panel, device manager format to NTFS run cmd ,diskpart , list disk & see if they show there check usb port for damage make sure you have correct USB3 drivers (shouldnt be an issue with 10) Uninstall any AV . It may be blocking access You may have a Group Policy blocking USB drives try a NEW USB stick that hasnt been used in those other PC's Reset Win10 (last resort) Is Win10 activated & not an insider version ? |
