Windows 10: Error in playing/transferring videos

Hi. Earlier today I was copying two videos from my laptop to my flash drive. I went to the bathroom for a second and I came back to my flash drive completely yanked from the port, thanks to my sister. When I put the flash drive back in, it suggested a scan and repair and a "continue without scanning" option or something along those lines. I continued without scanning and found out I could no longer transfer videos from my drive. It's always just error. And playing videos in my drive also gives me an error message. I ejected the drive and restarted my computer and then put the drive back in again. I got the same options from earlier but this time I chose "scan and repair" but it's literally not moving. Nothing is happening. Please help. Please see attached image, it's been like this for 45 minutes.

video not playing

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. May I know, which video player you are using to play the video?
   
2. Are you able to play the video on any other computer?
   
3. Are you facing the issue with only specific video or with all the other videos?
   

This issue could also occur when the USB or SD card is corrupted when you have transferred the video.

Try the troubleshooting methods provided below to further narrow down the root cause of the issue.

Method 1: Try a different video player.

1. Try to use a different USB to transfer the video, if you are playing it on other computer or device.
   
2. I suggest you to try a different video player and check if it plays.
   
3. You can also check on different device or computer.
   

Step: Run Windows Media player troubleshooter.

1. Press Windows + R key on your keyboard together.
2. Copy and paste the below command and run each at a time and follow the onscreen instruction on the troubleshooter
3. msdt.exe -id WindowsMediaPlayerConfigurationDiagnostic
4. msdt.exe -id WindowsMediaPlayerLibraryDiagnostic
5. msdt.exe -id WindowsMediaPlayerDVDDiagnostic
6. Reboot the computer and check.
