WD My Passport Ultra 2 TB Can't Initialize Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit

I got Windows 10 to recognize my WD My Passport Ultra 2tb. Steps: 1. download the WD SES Driver (WD SES Driver Download)
and WD Firmware Updater (http://products.wdc.com/wdsmartwareupdate/firmware.asp?id=wdfMyPassport&os=WIN). 2. Reset the computer. 3. Press the Windows Key and look for Administrative Tools option and select the Disk Administrator. 4. The application will display
the disk and most likely the settings will be disabled (right click), you must remove that unit from this same box of options. 5. Then right click again will enable the options to assign a letter to name the detected disk, assign for example Z. 6. Finally
you will see that your computer recognize your WD Passport Ultra. I hope this is useful, it worked for me.

WD not shown in Explorer but shown in Disk Management

Hi,

I recently tried to connect my WD Extrernal 1 TB passport to my windows PC. After connecting, I hear the normal click sound that appears on connecting on any external device. But I dont see any device shown in the explorer. I do see my passport under disk
management with different allocation. Kindly suggest what can be done to access the files on the hard disk. I also tried to connect it to a Windows laptop but the same thing.

NOTE: I did not make any change to either PC or hard disk.

Thanks,
