  1. Unable to access taskbar or log into one drive


    I recently updated windows, and after its completion I can no longer access my taskbar at the bottom of my screen. When pressing windows or the search bar nothing happens. Additionally, when attempting to log back into one drive, I am given the error code 1067, preventing me from logging in. I did a bit of digging to try and diagnose my issue, first by restarting windows explorer via the task manager, then by attempting a system restore to a point before the update, but my issue wasn’t resolved. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

    Unable to access Drives

    Hi Suneel,

    One of the reasons why you're unable to access your hard disk or an external hard drive is that these drives have been corrupted. For us to provide an accurate resolution, kindly elaborate the issue by answering the questions listed below:

    • Are you trying to access external hard drives or just partitioned drives on your PC?

    If you are connecting the drive through ports, I suggest you to connect to different ports and check if it helps.
