Windows 10: Windows 10 won't open password box for my Kingston USB Data Traveler

I have a USB Memory stick (Kingston Data Traveller 8GB) which opens with no problem on the computers at work which run on Windows 7 but when I try it in my home PC (Windows 10) it is recognised but will not bring up the box for me to enter the password so I can't access anything on it.

Has anyone else experienced this sort of thing? What can I do?

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
