External Drive not seen

Before upgrading to Windows 10 I moved some important documents to an external hard drive (Simple Drive). Now I can't see the hard drive and do not have access to the documents I need.

 

External hard drive not responding only when connected to my laptop.

My external hard drive is not responding when connected to my laptop, But works fine when it is connected to different PC. I don't know if my external hard drive is damaged or not but it works fine with other computers. I am able to access the files from
almost any laptop other than mine. But the USB ports of my laptop are working fine. Other hard drives n USBs are working properly. I have 1.5 TB of data in the hard drive but I can't access them properly in my laptop.

Anyone please give a fix. It's so annoying that I can't access my files in my laptop when it works fine with other laptops...

Give this a try How to Cleanup and Remove old USB Mass Storage Drivers

 

*Ditto but with one modification,. Instead of moving DriveCleanup.exe to System 32 folder , just right click on the appropriate DriveCleanup.exe in its folder itself (32bit or 64bit as per your system) and run as administrator.
