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.

If the drive is recognized, you should be able to assign it a drive letter using diskpart.
Open an admin powershell prompt (right-click your Windows icon, click
Windows Powershell (Admin) or if you don't see powershell, use
command prompt (admin) instead).

At the prompt, type diskpart and hit return.

At the diskpart prompt, type list volume and hit return.

Find your WD drive in the list (may be listed as WD drive or may be identifiable by listed size), and note the volume number.
For example, let's say your WD drive is listed as "volume 4".

At the new prompt, type select volume 4 and hit return (or whatever number your WD drive is listed as).
It should say "volume (#) is the selected volume". Now pick any letter not already used in the drive volume list shown in the earlier prompt. For example, let's say G is available.

Next prompt, type assign letter=G and hit return.

Type exit and hit return to exit diskpart.

Type exit and hit return again to exit powershell.

Your WD drive should now show up in file explorer with the new letter you've assigned.
