Windows 10: USB has a "FOUND.000" ONLY on a Chromebook

How do I reveal these on my PC? The folder only appears when I view the USB on my Chromebook, if I view the USB on my PC, the folder is nowhere to be seen. I have "view hidden items" enabled.Edit: I have figured out how to make them appear but only if I search ".chk", I would like them to appear in the "FOUND.000" folder, which does not appear anywhere in any search or on the USB at all.

User.000 issue after updating to 1909

I'm one of the many people suffering from issues with user profiles after applying Update 1909 to Windows 10. I've read all the threads I can find on the topic here and have followed the suggestions, all to no avail. Any other thoughts are appreciated.

After applying Update 1909, the ProfileImagePath was changed to c:\users\User.000
One file that was always in use and couldn't be removed was left in c:\users\User (can't recall or find the exact file now), so I could never rename or remove the c:\user\User directory.

I followed the multiple suggestions from Brink and others:

• Rebooted at least 6 times
• Enabled hidden Administrator
• Booted into Safe Mode
• Changed ProfileImagePath
• Tried to rename c:\users\User but couldn't because a file was still in use
• Copied all data from c:\users\User.000 into c:\users\User
• Rebooted and had temporary profile
• Followed steps in Brink tutorial to change ImageProfilePath; rebooted with no change
• Restored using Restore Point from before Update 1909 - returned to single profile state (User.000)
• Removed each update that was installed individually and rebooted after each update removal - profile state never changed
• After all updates were removed, repeated the steps above with hidden Administrator, changing profile, etc. - same issue with file in use in c:\users\User
• Followed all steps above with hidden Administrator but without copying files from User.000 to User - same results

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

 

My wife’s new Chromebook froze up with recycled message stating to call bogus number. Tried.

This worked:

1. Sign out of your Chromebook.
   
2. Press and hold Ctrl + Alt + Shift + r.
   
3. Select Restart.
   
4. In the box that appears, select Powerwash
   
   Continue.
   
5. Follow the steps that appear and sign in with your Google Account.
   Note: The account you sign in with after you reset your Chromebook will be the owner account.
   
6. Once you've reset your Chromebook:
   
   • Follow the onscreen instructions to set up your Chromebook
     
   • Check if the problem is fixed
     

 

Can i use windows on a chromebook?

External drives are listed as USB hard drives.

@ paulyjustin Under Storage Devices, it lists USB hard drives and thumb drives. USB hard drives are external drives; I don't think internal hard drives tend to be USB. Here's a copy of what I found at File types and external devices that work on Chromebooks - Chromebook Help

Filesystems
You can access files on external devices connected to your Chromebook if they use the following types of filesystems:

• FAT (FAT16, FAT32, exFAT)
• HFS+ (read-only on journaled HFS+)
• ISO9660 (read-only)
• MTP
• NTFS
• UDF (read-only)

Storage devices

• USB hard drives and thumb drives
• USB CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives (read-only)

Remove a storage device safely by clicking Eject

.

Note that under file systems, your drive should be formatted as Fat 32 or NTFS; probably not something strictly Chrome if you want to continue using it with Windows. I'm pretty sure you don't want your stuff read only. From what I see, it doesn't look like a GPT/UEFI formatted drive will work with Chrome.
