Windows 10: Windows 10, Lenovo Ideapad 330S, SanDisk USB Cruzer 64GB Drive appears and disappears from...

About four days ago October 21, 2020, I plugged a SanDisk USB Cruzer 64GB Drive into Port 3. A few moments after the UBS drive was plugged in, an error message appeared in the lower right-hand corner of my screen:


USB device malfunctioned and is not recognized.


In the Device Manager: This device was stopped because it reported problems Code 43.


Several days of troubleshooting and attempting to resolve the matter has brought me to two possible sources of the issue:


BIOS


Chipsets.


To add to the mystery when the USB is plugged it shows in Explorer for about two minutes and then disappears from Explorer.


Should I updated the BIOS and Chipsets?


Or. . . is there something else going on?


Thank you in advance.

SanDisk Cruzer 64GB USB Problem

Alright I tried the first solution and it did nothing, can't find the driver the USB either. Let me expand on my story since I have a better understanding of what is going on now...

So a Samsung Chrome book has an issue something like. Chrome OS is missing or damaged do this and that. So I downloaded the Chrome OS recovery tool.

The first USB used to write the Chrome OS image on was a DataTraveler 4GB. It failed at the Writing image part so I used a new USB my Cruzer Edge 64GB which I use for many things. I backed up my file before hand then wiped the drive.

This time the Chrome recovery OS worked. However after inserting the USB into the Chrome book. It said the recovery tool failed and to visit a website link which doesn't work for me. Anyway enough of the Chrome book talk...

The Chrome OS tool has left me in a bad state.

The first USB the DataTraveler 4GB, I insert into my PC. I have used CMD to wipe all of it's contents and to Format it. I've also used the Chrome OS tool to remove the image from the USB so as far as I am aware the USB has nothing on it. However after inserting
my USB it doesn't show up in the device list for me to put new files onto it not only that but with the USB as soon as I remove the USB Drive. Sometimes my PC makes a terrible buzzing sound sometimes it doesn't but it always gets poor performance afterwards.
As soon as I remove the USB it turns my PC to 1 FPS forcing me to restart.

With the other USB, my Cruzer Edge 64GB which I use to store a lot of files on. I inserted it into all USB ports. It's not making a connected sound like my other USB. It shows in the Device list. I have used CMD to wipe all the contents, formatted it and
uninstalled the driver and reinserted it into the PC. However no matter what the USB isn't showing in the devices list for me to put back all the files I had stored on it back to where it should be.

So I have no idea if other USBs will work on the PC. I have none to try out but that is my problem so far. Any advice to fixing this issue that Google have caused to happen?

EDIT:

Forgot I had an unpacked SanDisk Cruzer U 16GB Drive stored away. I used it in the PC. Works fine so it's not all USB's that are broken on the PC. Just the two above. I'm assuming they are both corrupted or something.

 

SanDisk 64GB Cruzer Glider Flash Drive

Did you follow the first link posted by @Barman58 "Cruzer Flash Drive not detected by Windows" One suggestion is to check Device Manager for device exclamation mark, if so refresh / uninstall the driver. I have a 128 GB Sandisk Cruzer, I'm not impressed by it's performance.
