I’ve got some sort of problem with Win10 on my desktop system, possibly related to USB ports.
Lately, when I plug portable devices into my USB ports, they are not recognized in Explorer but they can be seen in Devices and Printers and Computer Management windows.
Below is a screenshot example.
When I take the same device and plug it into the USB port of my laptop, also Win10, the device is recognized just fine.
I have also checked with all of my hard drive utilities and they cannot see USB plugged in devices either (rotating disk or SSD).
I removed the media via the “Safely remove hardware and eject media” in the tray and reconnected it multiple times but that did not help.
I have rebooted but that did not help. I also tried a different USB cable.
I also tried different ports with the same result of not showing the device.
Unsure why some parts of the system can see the device but the main access point via Explorer, cannot. Any ideas on things to check/do?
