USB Drives not detected
Greetings.
My external hard drives or any flash drives plugged into my system are not being detected. Last week I plugged in my friend's flash drive and nothing happened. He then mentioned it didn't work in his computer. Ever since that day my external drives and flash are not detected.
Sometimes they appear in the disk manager and I have to assign a letter every time. Most of the external drives I regularly use works but sometimes I have to assign a letter to them as well.
Sometimes uninstalling all the usb hub drivers works after I restarted the pc but that's not very practical because after I unplug it in again I get the same problem.
Some drives will appear in device manager as Other Devices->Desktop USB Drive
- I've tested the usb drives on a laptop and it works great.
- I've tested other usb devices on my pc and works fine.
- Checked in the BIOS and usb external and flash drives are detected but not appearing in windows
- Uninstalling USB Hub Drivers, works sometimes but not practical.
- Used the external hard drives as internal drives and same problem most of the time.
- Updated the Other Devices->Desktop USB Drive with an error (Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it - USB Storage Device).
- Also tried updating drivers while antivirus and firewall software disabled.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
