Windows 10: Seagate External Drive no longer being recognized in Windows 10?

I have a Seagate Backup Plus Slim External Drive that is no longer being recognized in Windows 10,it works fine in Windows 7,8 and on other computers/devices but ever since I upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 10 Pro I have been having this issue and it is still not solved! I followed all the troubleshooting steps and downloaded and installed the Seagate Paragon Driver for WIndows and my drive is still not being recognized but shows up in the taskbar as being plugged in and shows in "Device Manager" as plugged in but stated "There are no drivers installed for this device" When I plugged in my drive it seems to interfere with my computer and task such as "update driver" "uninstall" or even "restart" my computer will not work it just stays running the tasks and nothing happens, I am forced to restart and unplugged the drive manually then once restarted I am able to perform these tasks again without the drive being plugged in. I find it a shame that many other Windows 10 users have this same issue and Microsoft does nothing to solve it but ask us to run the same old troubleshooting steps that never solves the issue. It's Windows 10 itself that creates these problems for drives and devices,it's always contained flaws and problems since it was first released. Windows 7 and 8 never contained any of these issues at least it didn't for as my devices and drives worked fine on Windows 7 and 8. I have reverted back to Windows 7 Ultimate two times now and have reinstalled Windows 10 Pro and same results as my drive works fine in Windows 7 Ultimate,it contains no viruses,or is damaged the drive is healthy! There has to be a solution to this perhaps others settings that might not be configured correctly such as "Services" or any of the settings in "gpedit.msc" or "regedit" that could be preventing my drive from not being recognized?

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.

Windows 10 Backup Not recognizing Seagate Desk External Drive

Since upgrading to Windows 10, Windows Backup will not recognize my Seagate Desk External Drive. The Drive is recognized in Windows Explorer, but not in Backup. I have tried the support options from Seagate which has not been any help. Is this something
specific to Windows 10, or is there a solution to be able to use this drive for Windows Backup purposes?

 

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.
