    new windows 10 does not recognize any of the 5 external port drives

    Hi Linda,

    Yes a lot of options have changed in Windows 10. My computer is now This PC. To access This PC click on start and click on File explorer on the left hand side click on This PC.

    Please answer these questions to assist you better.

    • Do you get any error message?
    • Is your flash drive recognized by Device Manager?

    Follow the Steps below to check if Device Manager is recognizing Flash drive.

    • Right click on Start button and select Device Manager.
    • Double click Universal Serial Bus Controller; look for flash drive.

    If you flash drive is recognized by Device Manager then you can perform the next step.

    Run the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter.

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with the Bluetooth adapter. Refer these steps:


    • Press Windows key +X, select
      Control panel.

    • Change the view by option on the top right to
      Large icons.

    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the
      view all option on the left panel.

    • Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.

    • Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.

    Refer the link below to know more about Start menu. Also refer the other links for more information.

    Do let us know if you are able to access flash drive. Thank you.

    Windows 10 recognizes my SD Card as a local drive

    Jon,

    You posted that you would try the suggested steps by Tryx3. May we have an update if the suggested steps have resolved the issue about your SD card being recognized as a fixed drive in Windows 10?

    win 10 will not recognize new drive

    No longer recognizes CD/DVD drive


    Since receiving the Win 10 Home upgrade my computer no longer recognizes the DVD drive. It doesn't show in Device Manger or in the device list in This PC although it does spin up if you insert media into it. I've tried all the suggested remedies except messing with the registry and nothing works. This is one of several problems I've had with device drivers since the upgrade.

    Windows 10 Home 64 bit
    AMD FX-4130 3.80Ghz
    8Gb Installed memory
