  3. after windows 10 aniversary update, cant read any pen drives or external drives

    • I updated my desktop and Surface 3. Both have the same problem: can´t read any pen drives.
    • My pen drives read from any other OS, but not from those where have windows 10 aniversary update.
    • Tried to do a format in one of those pen drives, and i cant find it to even start formatting. It fails formatting.
    • I Erased rollback files, because i tested it out. Everything was ok. When i tried using files from pen drive, it failed.
    • Im virus free, have 2 tools here - antivirus and malware.
    What should i do? Need your help guys.

    select disk n (replace n by the USB drive number obtained with list disk)
    clean
    convert mbr
    create part primary
    select part 1
    format fs=NTFS quick
    assign
