    USB Memory Stick not recognized by Windows 10

    Windows 10 will not recognize my USB memory stick (PNY 64gb) at all. The stick worked fine under windows 8.1, (! USB Device Not Recognized The last usb device you connected to this computer). My Kingston 8gb DataTraveler USB memory stick works fine with
    Windows 10 and Windows 8.1.

  3. Recognize DataTraveler after W10 update

    1. The DataTraveler could be conflicting with a pre-assigned drive letter. To resolve, do the following (Do not do this for a "Privacy" drive that assigns two drive letters):


    • 1. Insert the DataTraveler and right click the windows Icon.

      2. Select “Disk Management” on the left window pane.

      3. Locate the DataTraveler in the upper window pane (it might not show the name).

      4. Right-click on the drive and select “Change Drive Letter and Paths.”

      5. Click Change and select a new drive letter from the drop-down box. Then click OK.
    2. The DataTraveler may be conflicting with pre-installed software. Disable all applications running in the background prior to installation of the Data Traveler.

    3. Make sure Windows, any USB controller drivers and the system BIOS for you computer is up to date.

    4. If you have a desktop computer, make sure the DataTraveler is inserted directly into one of the main USB ports on the back of the PC. Front ports, keyboard ports or USB Hubs may not supply sufficient power for the High Speed DataTraveler to function properly.

    5. Check for a possible conflict is another USB device such as a printer or USB card reader. Unplug the other USB device, insert the DataTraveler drive and restart the system. After the DataTraveler is configured you should then be able to connect the other
    USB device.
