Windows 10: What extra software do I need with Windows 10

If you go to Device Manager, under Disk Drives, what does it show? Right click start button>Device Manager.

 

Hey TC. Not to barge-in, because you are doing a tremendous job....but, do you think the Touro needs a CHKDSK? Also, I've run into this on older drives - the data is there from a while ago, you can read it, it connects to the system, etc., but try to write anything to it and it fails. It's a scary position to be in though, because all your data is at risk. Might you try PassMark Disk Checkup on the Touro to make sure it's in good health?

 

I only see one in Device manager. @simrick, I've never used PassMark. Can you walk her thru it? I'm also concerned the "Fix" she did last week has left some goodies on there.

Lizzy, Simrick is a really good person to have a look at this. I would let her do it, if she's willing.

 

My Touro an ASUS docking station are both new. I bought them a couple of months ago when moving from my Dell desktop to ASUS laptop. I transferred all my files with Touro.

 

Any help is much appreciated.

 

Ok, there is something we can do to see if there's something corrupt in the system files.

Right click Start Button, open Command Prompt (Admin). Copy and paste this and press enter. It will run for about 10 minutes or less. SFC /SCANNOW Post a screenshot of the command window results.

 

Agree with you fully there I also have the same Printer and also would not recommend removing any thing to do with the printer
As it will not work properly

 

Happy to post some screenshots on DiskCheckup - wouldn't hurt just to make sure the thing is healthy. Give me a moment please.
Not aware of this "fix" - can you elaborate?

Good, then chances are it's healthy. Let's make sure, just to rule that out.

TC - might want to run CHKDSK /r on the Touro, no?

 

Donald? How did this post get here? *Confused It has nothing to do with the thread!

 

Thanks, the system files scan is still running . Will send a screen shot when it's done.

 

One of the preview builds had a similar issue - duplicate namespaces show in Explorer.
Try toggling the drives off, restart explorer, then drives on:
Drives in Navigation Pane - Add or Remove in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

A disk management would better show the disks.

• Download dmDskmgr-vg.zip (contains dmDskmgr-vg.mmc)
  
  
• Open the compressed folder, dmDskmgr-vg.zip
  Double click dmDskmgr-vg.mmc to launch it
  Press the Open button if prompted Do you want to open this file?
  Answer yes to the User Account Control prompt
  
• Press Alt+PrtScn to grab a snapshot of just the Disk Management window
  Open Paint and Ctrl+V to paste it, then save the image
  
  
• Attach the image to a new post

Not to change the path you are already on, just a mention - Clean install?
Make a fresh copy of all personal files to the external drive.
