    External HDD is not accessible

    Hi,

    Recently my Win 10 Home edition got an update and updated. After it finished, I plug my external 3.0 HDD to my laptop, but I couldn't open it. I searched on the internet. I tried to update the driver but it said that my driver is up to date. I tried to uninstall
    it on the Device Manager then I plug it again after waiting for a few minutes but it still can't work.

    After that, I tried to uninstall the update but it didn't solve my problems. I still can't open my External HDD. Even though my external HDD was still readable before the update.

    Anyone, please help me

  3. my western digital ultra stopped working after anniversary update

    CPU: Intel i5 4670K

    MB: Asus Z87-A

    I tried My External HDD. It works both on a different computer and on a diferent Android TV BOX (even android box recognized hdd in miliseconsds)

    My motherboard has the latest drivers. There is no motherboard driver update released after anniversary update.

    Also there is no driver found for WD Ultra in WD site. There are some utility applications only. They also thought "who needs driver for an external hdd?"

    The last time i need a driver for hdd was windows 95.
