    Windows 10 Adding Folders to USB Devices


    Nobody else seems to have this problem, nor am I finding any other reports of this issue doing a google search.

    While it's not impossible that it's a bug in the OS, the more likely culprit is that it's something else you've installed that isn't compatible with Windows 10. I only installed Chrome and VLC additionally on Win 10. The other partitions / drives I have originally had Win 7 ult/Linuxmint/Ubuntu in a multi-boot system. I installed Win 10 after unplugging other drives first.
    Problems occurred when Win 10 rebooted to update. Somehow the update did not complete and other partitions were locked down.
    I corrected the problem by booting back to Win 10 and allowing it to release my other harddrive. I have deleted the Win 10 since then. I will reinstall it as a guest os under VM player. That probably is safer for my main OSs.

    I seem to remember I had an external hard drive that did that when it was first plugged into W7. It created folders it assumed I would be using. Maybe the same in your case ?
