  2. Unable to open the files on my flash drive on windows 10.

    Hi Kiezan,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    We understand your concern on flash drive dysfunctional on Windows 10 and I'd be glad to help you.

    Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions regarding the query:


    • Do you get any error message, when you try to open the files in flash drive?

    • Can you access other USB devices connected to the computer?
    I suggest you to check, whether USB flash drive is shown in the file explorer and try to open the files from there.

    This issue could occur due to outdated, corrupted or incorrect settings of Universal Serial Bus controllers on Windows 10.

    If you are unable to find the drive in File Explorer, please refer to the suggestions of ThofikhAhamad, replied on September 5, 2015, to fix your issue with flash drive.

    CD to flash drive

    Hi Pam,

    There are several ways to copy your pictures from the CD to the Flash drive. One of which is by using the shortcut keys to copy and paste it.

    We suggest following the steps below:

    • Insert the CD and flash drive to your PC.
    • Use Cortana and type File Explorer then click it.
    • Choose This PC.
    • Open the CD drive.
    • If all the pictures are in a specific folder, press Ctrl + A
      on your keyboard to automatically choose all the pictures then, press Ctrl + C to copy it.
    • Afterwards, Open the Flash drive, choose the location where you want to copy the pictures then press
      Ctrl + V to paste it.

    Let us know if you need anything else.
