    2T USB Thumb Drive write issues


    I bought a 2T Thumb Drive from China (I know but US wasnt making them at the time) so anyway on my first initial write to the drive lots of info was passed to it. Time passed not sure how much, but on my second attempt to write to the drive I created a new folder on the drive and my burn to the drive appeared to work ok. When I went to the folder after the burn completed there were no files in the folder. Why not??

    :)

    Windows 10 : USB thumb drives are unusable

    I have a Windows 10 Pro (v.1703) laptop that denies writing of data to usb thumb drives.

    I've tried several drives and all behave the same:

    The OS sees the drive and can read data written to it by Windows 7 computers.

    The drive can be formatted by Windows 10.

    Attempts to write data to the drive result in this error :

    Destination Folder Access Denied.

    I AM an admin on this computer yet some additional admin rights are required to

    write to the USB drive. I am never prompted for credentials.

    I can find no tool with which to grant the necessary rights, so rendering all usb

    thumb drives incompatible with this computer.

    I have tried many solutions (RegEdits, etc) to this rather disasterous issue and none have

    been effective.

    Frustrating indeed.

    Any suggestions ?

    Thumb drive issue

    W10 won't recognize my USB thumb drive. Would like to be able to install music to this drive, but doesn't show up on

    "Send To" list or on the drives shown in "This PC". Never had this issue in W7 Home, so wondering if there's a fix for W10.

    2T USB Thumb Drive write issues

    USB thumb flash drives are "write protected"

    Bought 4 PNY 16GB USB thumb drives and every time I try to format them, the computer kicks back that they are write protected. Have tried ALL the solutions listed and explained in the 10 forums here, and nothing works to disable the write protection on my machine. Tried diskpart, Command Prompt, and Computer Configuration and nothing resolves my problem. BTW, there's no switch on these USB drives.
    Anybody know of a fix?
    My machine is Dell Optiplex 960 w/6 Gb memory.
    Thanks for reading my post and possibly helping me,
