Windows 10: Since Tuesday Sept 5th I've been unable to download photos from a USB drive to my laptop,...

I can't download photos from a memory card via USB drive onto my laptop - started suddenly on Tuesday Sept 5th, when it also became impossible to search for specific files or emails. Any help gratefully accepted.

Unable to connect USB Hard Drives to laptop

After having connected a
Sisun HDD docking station to my Sony Laptop , Windows Explorer refuses to recognise any USB hard drive (although other software such as a disk utility can) and I am therefore unable to save files to these drives. Windows does recognise some USB pen drives
but larger HDD are not recognised. To date, I have;

• Uninstalled the USB controllers through Device manager (forcing Windows to reinstall them on reboot); and
• Run both the WinUSB and DeviceDiagnostic software to no avail.

I'd rather not do a clean reinstall of Windows as I am unable to backup my files. Any other suggestions?

 

Latest (Sept 2019 Patch Tuesday) Version of Malicious Software Removal Tool

Why has MS not released a NEW Version of MSRT on Tuesday (Patch Tuesday) although on the download screen it says Version 5.76 and "Released" 5th September 2019, the file is last moths ie : Windows-KB890830-x64-V5.75.exe The digital signature
is 25th July same as Last Months MSRT

Thanks,

Paul
