    USB drive not showing up in Windows 10


    I have had a problem with my drives not showing up when plugged in and if I change the drive letter, they are fine. I have since discovered that Norton backup was the issue and now that I have totally disabled it, my drives are fine. I don't think I am the only one with this problem but have not seen many other posts about it. I have spent a lot of time on this and thought I would post this to help out others in the same boat.

    :)

    USB drive not showing up in Windows 10

    help. USB drive isn't assigned a drive letter.

    Any usb flash drive I plug into my computer isn't assigned a drive letter. The physical drive shows in the "safely remove hardware" but it doesnt show up in disk management. I have tried to populate the volume thru the safely remove hardware properties window and it does pop up in the list but it doesn't stay there. This isn't a format or assign a letter problem. It's more complicated then that. Maybe one of the services needed for usb drive management was disabled? Suggestions needed. btw external usb harddrives work fine.
