I have Windows 10 with the latest updates
I have used this USB on this machine for over a year. Other USB Keys mount fine, just not this particular one.
Today, I put in the key, I see from the Windows 10 Eject Icon that it is there but has no drive letter assigned.
I did some searching and came across this article
http://searchenterprisedesktop.tech...n-USB-flash-drives-refuse-to-mount-in-Windows
I downloaded the recommended tool USBDeview
The website for the utility says that it works with Windows 10. I installed it and followed the article to delete the reference to the USB Key. Rebooted as recommended, and still nothing. I can see from the utility that it is going into the database, but is never assigned.
Yes, the key works on other computers and other Windows 10 machines, just not my main computer.
The work around was to get another USB key and mount them both on another PC and copy the files over. That worked.
I would like to however understand how to fix this problem. I assume something in some database or ini file is corrupted and would like to fix it.
Anyone have any ideas?
