Hello. I’m owner of 32GB Sandisk Ultra. My pendrive for some reason isn’t showing in the explorer. I checked the Device Manager and the pendrive has no problems. So i checked Disk Managment and is also showing. I pluged it to my old laptop with Windows 8.1 and it’s works fine. I tried everything and it wont work.
The current machine may not assigning new letters, do the following >>
Open Command Prompt with Administrative privilages >> Type diskpart >> list disk >> (If only 1 disk on the machine, do select disk 1 __) >> assign letter= letter of your choice
Check if USB massive storage device is enabled. Go to Device Manager > expand Universal Serial Bus controllers > right click USB Mass Storage Device. make sure it it enabled.
Or, update the device driver also in Device Manager.
I have a similar problem with my Extreme Pro 512gb. At first it doesn’t appear in the explorer or eject option, I wait a few minutes and it appears !. I tried another pen drive (Corsair) and it always appears instantly, weird.
