    all usb drives external shows device icon ( like unspecified)


    I changed value for power source in powersettings hkey local machine via registry editor. I dont know this problem could be or not, because icon not shows shows only paper white and unspecified device in printers all usb device connected. I disabled usb ports in device manager all, and when i disabled usb root hub computer run in a problem and restarted i got blue screen. But when starting again drivers reinstalled auto. I did reinstall windows. When boots up computer shows usb disk drive ok, sd card reader shows icon ok, but when log ot from pc or restart or shutdown doesnt matter now blank paper icon when usb connected hard drive. In virtual machine same when installed shows ok, when reboot vm machine shows blank paper. In vm i disabled all usb ports and usb root hub vm machine worked, not run a problem like local computer goes. I did via registry to default icon like youtube tutorial i dont know why not mine changed i did correct , on youtube video changed , and fixed, mine not. I try connecting bluetooth via phone to pc, shows device name my phone, and bluetooth device. Not unspecified. On vm machine shows all usn connected unspecified. I dont know how to fix!!!!

    Thank you for the update.

    Looks like your system is unable to detect your external hard drive. Let's see if scanning for new hardware will fix the issue. Follow these steps:

    • Press the Windows key to launch the Start menu.
    • Type in Device Manager and press Enter.
    • Under Device Manager, select Action tab > Scan for hardware changes.
    • Wait for your system to install the generic driver for your device and follow the on-screen instructions.

    If the issue still persists, we suggest that you perform the following recommendations below:

    • Plug in your external USB drives to other USB device port of your system.
    • Use other USB cables for your external device to connect to your system.

    Keep us updated and we will be glad to assist you further.

  3. What has happened to the additional drives that appeared in the Windows Explorer for external USB devices

    Hi Alan,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

    For better understanding please answer the below questions:

    • Does the USB drive shows in the Device Manager?
    • Is the computer detecting the connected USB devices?
    • Have you checked the USB drives on the different computers?
    I would suggest you to try the below methods and check if that helps:

    Method 1:

    Check if you are able to see the USB External DVD drive in Disk Management. If you are able to see the USB External DVD drive in Disk Management, follow the steps to assign the drive letter:

    • Press Windows key + X.
    • Select Disk Management.
    • Right-click the drive that you want to change, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
    Do one of the following:

    • To assign a drive letter if one has not already been assigned, click
      Add
      , click the letter that you want to use, and then click OK.
    • To change a drive letter, click Change, click Assign the following drive letter, click the letter that you want to use, and then click
      OK.
    Method 2: I would suggest you to un-install and reinstall USB controllers and check. This method resolves steps where the currently loaded USB driver has become unstable or corrupted.

    • Press Windows key + X.
    • Select Device Manager.
    • Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
    • Right click a device and click Uninstall.
    • Repeat for each device. Once complete, restart your computer.
    • Your USB controllers will automatically install.
    Keep us posted if you face any issues on windows in future. We will be glad to help you.
