Seagate Manager does not recognize external Seagate Drive after upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10

I recently upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10. I have used Seagate Manager for backup for several years without any problems. After upgrading, Seagate Manage does not recogize either of my external seagate drives. The drives are recognized by the computer
(listed in "This PC", and can be accessed. However, Seagate Manage cannot find either drive.

 

Windows 10 Backup Not recognizing Seagate Desk External Drive

I have tried your suggestions with no success or change to my problem.

Here are answers to your questions:

1. My computer is an EMachines ET1331G-034w

2. Have not changed any settings.

3. Windows Backup says that no external hard drive is detected.

I did try one additional thing. I dug out my OLD WD external hard drive just to check. Surprisingly to me, Windows Backup does recognize it, but not the much newer Seagate drive.

Surely there must be an answer, especially since the Seagate drive was working perfectly before updating to Windows 10.

Seagate external drive

Hi Paul,

One of the possible reasons why your Seagate external drive is not working properly is due to a corrupted storage device. To help us determine the appropriate troubleshooting steps, we would like to ask the following questions:

• Were you able to connect this external drive to another computer?
• Have you made any recent changes before you encountered this issue?
• Have you tried to unplug and use another USB port available?
• What is the error message that you received?

We look forward to your response.
