Windows 10: Flash drive appears double (twice) in the drives tree

When I connect my flash drive (stick) to my computer, it appears twice (double) in the drives tree.
Why is that?
It creates a mess for me as I realized that when I save a file onto it, the files isn't saved in the actual physical stick.

I found out when I tried to access the file when connecting the stick to another computer and it was on it.

Apparently I saved it to the additional (maybe virtual) instance of the stick.
Any advice would be helpful

:)

 

Flash-Drive doubled.

Hello all: Now I post 3rd trouble of my new laptop: Flash-Drive doubled.

Suppose Flash-16GB is one of my Flash-Drive. Now insert it into USB port

and open the Explorer-File, my pc will see:

............................................

> This PC

.........................

> Windows (C

> recovery (D

> DVD RW Drive (E

> Flash-16GB (F

> Flash-16GB (F

.............................

You see the Flash-16GB is doubled: one is under This PC, another

is parallel to This PC.

Normally the Flash-Drive should appear one place along the HDD!!

Where does the extra Flash-16GB come from? Please help me!

Flash-Drive doubled.

Hello Adriane:

I followed your instruction to do the FORMAT for the Flash-Drive

and restarted the pc after formatting.

Sorry to see "the doubled" flash-Drive trouble remained the same!
