    OS doesn't recognize USB flash drives (KB4056892)

    Just completed Win10 update KB4056892 on my Sony laptop, now running v.1709, build 16299.125. Almost everything is fine except the system no longer recognizes USB flash drives. When a flash drive (USB2 or 3) is inserted in a port the Device Manager recognizes it as "Other Devices", lists what it is (for example "TOSHIBA TransMemory USB Device") but says under Properties: "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) There are no compatible drivers for this device." When I try to update the driver, the Update Drivers feature says "Windows could not find drivers for your device." Device Manager shows no problems under Universal Serial Bus Controllers.

    I know the drivers for flash drives are somewhere in the system because I have used these ports and flash drives many times prior to KB4056892, but I don't know where they are or how to tell the OS where they are. Suggestions would be appreciated.

  3. USB flash not being recognized

    Even rebooting won't make my Windows 10 Home program recognize a USB flash drive plugged into any port of the computer. I've tried three different flash drives, including two that are new and one that plays in the car. I don't get that musical note that tells me the computer recognizes something that has just been plugged in.

    I'd appreciate any suggestions as to what's going on and how to solve it. Thanks, Larry

    USB 3.0 flash drive not recognizing

    I have Dell Inspiron 3543 which has one USB3.0 port, it was working normally with Windows 8.1 x64. Later I did clean install of Windows 10 x64, but after that my USB 3.0 flash is not recognizing while I plug in to USB 3.0 port but works on 2.0 ports. When
    I plug 2.0 devices to 3.0 port it works, just my 3.0 flash drive is not recognized. I installed latest drivers(Intel extensible or something similar) and said it was up to date.
