    unable to detect usb portable harddisk


    Before I am able to detect my 2 of my usb portable hard disk and lately it fail to detect on my ASUS laptop. I have tried all the 3 different usb ports in the laptop as well as changing the usb cable but no success. However, both portable hard disks works fine on my other laptop.


    Please advise how to troubleshoot and fix this problem.

    :)

    unable to detect usb portable harddisk

    Windows 10 unable to detect USB pendrive except USB connection.

    Yesterday morning my computer cannot detect my pendrive. I tried every USB port but none of them works. I'm also uninstalled & reinstalled portable device & universal serial bus controller drivers but even this method failed to work. Weirdly, my computer can detect my smartphone usb connection & the ESET Internet Security's antimalware able to scan my pendrive so I ruled out the USB ports fault. I don't think my pendrive is damaged because I bought it last Friday. If I'm not mistaken, this problem appeared since the new Windows update for Windows 10 1511 to Windows 10 1709. Nevertheless, I refused to make immediate conclusion without further advices from the expert.
