  1. How prevent autorenaming of USB stick ?


    A permanently connected USB stick which I lettered as A:\ in Disk Management, shows there with the name I originally gave it in File Explorer, but in File Explorer, it now shows 'Floppy Disc Drive' and reverts to that even when I change the name. How can I restore my ability to EFFECTIVELY rename that USB stick ?

    :)

  2. Preventing 'System Volume Information' forming on USB sticks in W10

    I can delete those folders, but the Registry and Policy methods suggested by a Google search for PREVENTING their formation do not work, so is there another effective way ? I want to emphasize that I want the prevention working for USB sticks - NOT USB Hard Drives.

    Installing windows off of a USB stick

    And that's it, boot off your usb disk

    USB stick problem

    I can't guarantee that it is the exact reason why your USB stick is having problem but that's one of the reasons why this issue happens. I suggest to always use the "Safely remove hardware and eject media" option in your system tray before unplugging your
    USB stick or any external drives. This issue happens to me in the past due to removing my external drive improperly and it cost me lot of time and effort to get it back up and running so by ejecting it properly might prevent the issue from happening.

    Since the issue follows your USB stick on another computer, then the problem is from the USB stick itself and not the computer.

    There are some ways to recover your files but that involves a 3rd-party program which is mostly paid application, but still it is not a guarantee that it will be able to retrieve your files. If the files are not that important, i suggest to continue with formatting
    your USB stick. If the issue stills occurs even after formatting, then most probably your USB stick is already faulty.

    I hope these information helps.
