Adding External Hard Drive (WD) messed up computer
I just purchased a WD My Passport external hard drive. I already have 2 of them that work fine with my system. When I first plugged the new one in windows recognized it and tried to install. First 2 of the first 3 parameters went fine but I got an error message on the 3rd that read "WD SES Device USB Device - No Driver Found" but windows did recognize the drive. The SES (SCSI Enclosure Services) driver is a driver for some of the new optional features that I don't need.
But since that exact instant I now have several problems.
#1 - my keyboard now will not work through the normal keyboard port. Tried two different ones, no go. Luckily I had a usb keyboard that will work.
#2 - when I try to do windows update it hangs up after selecting install updates. It hangs at "downloading updates - 0kb total 0% complete".
Windows defender also hangs during update search.
There are a couple of other issues like a browser crashing, and such.
Device Manager is now giving me a yellow error icon for all 3 WD drives now as well. But they all work/are recognized.
Can someone please help?
thanks in advance.
