Windows 10: .Copy Old family movies to USB Sticks

Since my computer has been updated to windows 10. I have lost the ability to copy family movies from my Sony handycam to full size disks. I would also like the ability to copy these same movies to USB sticks. I can't find any help from anyone with the expertise to perform these tasks. I find it very frustrating not to be able to perform the tasks I enjoyed before the upgrades. Could you please advise me how I can copy my old disks and tapes onto USB sticks and hard drives.Thankyou,Trevor Stanley.

Windows 10 Problem with usb port and old memory stick

Hello Steve,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

We regret the inconvenience caused to you. We will be glad to assist you with your issue.

• Does the issue occur when u try with different USB drive?
• Did you install all the pending Windows update?

I suggest you to first try and check with different USB Memory stick and check if the same issue occurs. Also try using your current USB memory stick in different USB port and check. Also install all the pending Windows
updates and check. You can also try using the Memory stick on another system and check if its working fine.

For now, you can try updating the drivers of the Memory Stick and check if it helps:

Follow the steps to update drivers from the Device Manager:

1. Right click on
Start button, select Device Manager andEnter.

2. Find the drivers which needs to be installed and also see if there are any warning symbols. If yes update the drivers.

3. Right click on the Memory stich device and click on
Update driver.
