Windows 10: External SanDisk SSD Unlocker does not open or it takes 5-20 minutes

Hello communityI just got new laptop Asus Proart 16 2023 with fully updated Win 11 Home and I have issues with loading my external SSD. It just takes unreasonably extended periods of time. I have tried the same SSD on my old laptop and had no issues at all. I have tried to connect it via USB and USB c on my new laptop, same story all along. What can I do to make it run?Best regardsJan

USB SSD SANDISK PROBLEMS

USB SSD SANDISK WAS DETECTED AS EXTERNAL 3 BUT DEVICE NOT OPENS

 

why the 5 minutes break?

Hi all, I don’t know if this is a known matter and if there’s a solution.

Normal procedure for locking keypad and unlocking:

• I set "Security keyguard" and "Automatic keyguard" On to lock the phone,
• I go to homescreen and wait 1 minute for it to be locked,
• I press Unlock key (here it’s menu key) and * key (star key) then enter correct Security code 12345.
• Phone is Unlocked.

Nothing’s easy then this. But what if I type wrong codes for a few times just as a test:

• I set "Security keyguard" and "Automatic keyguard" On to lock the phone,
• I go to homescreen and wait 1 minute for it to lock,
• I press unlock key and * key and enter random wrong codes for a few times (NOT 12345),
• phone is still Locked due to wrong Security codes with message “Code error”. Good!
• Now I press Unlock key and *key and this time I enter correct Security code 12345 then ok.
• But Phone is still Locked with message “Code error”!!!! I retry entering correct Security code 12345 again with no luck.
• what do I do? I waited 5 minutes and retried entering Security code 12345 again and OMG this time it’s Unlocked. Good.
• to make sure of this, I repeated steps 1 to 7 and same matter.

Why does the phone lock itself completely on me for 5 minutes that's after a few Erroneous security code test attempts (maybe 3 or 5) even if after this I directly enter correct Code 12345 but it's still locked??

Is there any extra Security code in this case? how to let the phone accept the correct code before 5 minutes?

 

Shared drive pops open an Explorer window every 20 minutes

I shared two drives on my PC so I could play my media on my Raspberry Pi KODI box and one drive opens an Explorer window every 20 minutes on my PC.

One drive I shared was F: which is a partition on an internal SATA drive, it never opens a window.

The other was J: an external USB drive.

The external drive opens an Explorer window showing its contents every 20 minutes.

I first noticed it at 5:20 and at 6:20 but now I see it opens 3 times per hour.

Does anyone know why it's doing it and how I can stop it from opening a window every 20 minutes?
