Windows 10: USB not recognised after years using it.

I’ve come across an issue with an Xpress USB flush drive
that I use daily on my main desktop. I have been configuring a new desktop
where I have had to transfer data from one to the other. The new desktop
recognises the flush drive but the desktop where I mainly used it does not
recognise it anymore. Windows on my main desktop flagged only once a message
saying it did not recognise the device, now when I plug the device in my main
desktop it does not show in File Explorer although it is recognised and works
perfectly well on the new desktop.
Any ideas on how to get the main desktop to recognise the
flush drive again?

microphone stopped being recognised by Windows 10 - worked perfectly for two years

My microphone stopped working. Windows 10 just doesn't recognise it if I plug it in or disconnect it. It was working perfectly a few hours ago and nothing has changed. Any suggestions? If I right click on the speaker icon, go to Recording Devices its not
listed. And if I disconnect it by USB and reconnect it, it doesn't show any activity in the window relating to it. Any suggestions?

 

USB Drives not recognised in Windows 10


I have just updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and when I plug in a any USB drives are not recognised.

I have tried a USB stick which worked but not drives do not.

Any suggestions as all worked in Windows 7.

Thank you.
