Windows 10: USB flash drive not showing up, not working and my Camera not working

I had this problem with flash drives and tried to uninstall and check for hardware changes, update, but still the flash drive is not working the same way with the camera.

My Flash Drive Wont Work

I don't really think it's a question of durability, my flash drive is on my keychain and I throw it around and have stepped on it. It's been through all kinds of abuse and it still works as well as the day I bought it. My uncle on the other hand, his computer kills any usb item he plugs into it.

 

help. USB drive isn't assigned a drive letter.

Any usb flash drive I plug into my computer isn't assigned a drive letter. The physical drive shows in the "safely remove hardware" but it doesnt show up in disk management. I have tried to populate the volume thru the safely remove hardware properties window and it does pop up in the list but it doesn't stay there. This isn't a format or assign a letter problem. It's more complicated then that. Maybe one of the services needed for usb drive management was disabled? Suggestions needed. btw external usb harddrives work fine.

 

Windows 10 detects USB flash drives but not USB camera or smartphone

When I connect USB flash drives (simple storage drives), they are detected by Windows 10 without problem.

However, when I connect Android smartphones or cameras, the USB sound notification is heard, but the USB devices won't show up on file explorer.

I have tried these so far:

1. Since smartphones and cameras use MTP protocol, I installed MTP drivers for Windows 10, but problem persists.
   
2. Even updated the system bios! No luck.
   
3. Tried to update USB drivers, didn't help.
   
4. Played around with power options regarding USB, again no luck.
   

Can anybody help.
