Windows 10: SanDisk USB Drive Not Working

UndefinedGhost · Nov 20, 2023

I have 2 SanDisk USB drives that are not working. Drivers for the devices don't install or anything. Both of them on this machine gives me a Code 28 error. Even after trying to uninstall the device, running sfc scan, and doing a chkdsk I still get nothing. The only thing I currently haven't done is a fresh install of windows mainly cause this is the only issue. Both flash drives work on my other PC but refuse to work on this one. 1 is brand new and 1 has been used throughout the years. Any help would be appreciated.
