Seagate Expansion + Drive not working

When I use to connect my Seagate Expansion + drive, my windows 8 computer does not read the contents and it also affects the other USB Drives. but it shows on the Device Manager (SCSI controller and Disk Drives section), however the capacity storage is not
listing up on the Disk Management Tool.

Any help?

Seagate expansion portable drive not recognised by Windows 10

Yes, Seagate did a good job of explaining what is happening. See below. It is easy to set up the Seagate Expansion Drive to be a backup.

"Please note, it looks like the drive is seen in Disk Management now. However, the Desktop Expansion drive didn't come with any backup software keyed for the drive since it was marketed as expanded storage
rather than backup storage. So, you would need to use an alternate software like Windows Backup options.

Please follow these steps to setup Windows File History:

* Click the Start button

* Click Settings > Update & security > Backup > Add a drive

* Choose an external drive for your backups.

Please see these links for more info on Windows 10 backup options:

Seagate 1TB Expansion

Thank you for your reply, Although it shows on the device manager as Expansion drive it is not showing on the disk manager even though it did initially, I tried it on another laptop and it is the same. It shows as seagate expansion drive, it shows the
properties and runs a test to say its working properly in the troubleshoot and diagnostics but i have looked further and it wont register the volume. I have only had it 3 days so still under shops warranty but i initially moved a lot of movies and pictures
to it to clear space on my laptop which is frustrating. I have had quite a few bugs on windows 10 and was hoping this was 1 but now beginning to suspect the product may be faulty
