Hi there

Anybody else get the problem of external USB volumes appearing TWICE in the file explorer list (Build 9860).




Not a show stopper but annoying.

file explorer doesnt show movies on sd card but does list pictures

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

We understand that you are unable to view movie files in SD card in the file explorer.

Please answer these questions:

• Are you able to see movie files in file explorer which are saved in your computer hard disk?
• Are you able to see movie files when you connect any other external device?
• Do you get any error message when you open the SD card from file explorer?

I request you to follow the below methods:

Method 1:

The movie files might be hidden. So please check the hidden items.

Method 2:

Perform system file checker. Follow the steps below which will help you:

• 
  Open an elevated command prompt.
  
• 
  In the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER: sfc /scannow.
  

The sfc /scannow command will scan all protected system files, and replace corrupted files with a cached copy that is located in a compressed folder at %WinDir%\System32\dllcache.

I hope this helps you. If you have any further query in future, feel free to contact us. We will be happy to help you.

Thank you.

 

SD card not showing in store

The SD card is not showing in the store. The official tutorial on the Microsoft website (http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/How-to/wp8/apps/how-do-i-install-apps-from-an-sd-card)

states:

To install apps and games from your phone's SD card

• 
  Insert an SD card that contains one or more .XAP files into your phone.
  
• 
  On Start
  
  , tap
  Store
  
  , and then tap
  SD card.
  
  Note
  
  If you've just inserted the SD card or added the .XAP files, you might need to wait a few minutes before you can access your SD card from the Store.
  
• 
  Select the apps you want, and then tap Install.
  

However, the problem, and thus the source of this question resides in step number 2. "Tap SD card" is not possible, as the option to do so does not exist within the store. Perhaps this clarifies the question.
