All USB drive access denied

Anonymous

I've tried to use all 3 USB ports with various USB storage drives and all resulted the same error:

"D:\ is not accessible. Access is denied."

As I check the security properties in Advanced, it's showing:

"You do not have permission to view or edit this object’s permission settings."

even even I'm using administrative user profile.

Note: the USB drive works perfectly in other PC.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Files, folders, and storage

    Issue is due to Intune policy.

    I retired from it and it works fine now.

    Hi John,

    Thanks for your assistance!

    Allow me to share the potential issues you raised:

    Potential issue Reply
    Impropoer connection You mean physically connection?<br><br>I've plugged properly. And the USB device works fine in other PC.
    Damaged cables the USB port works fine with mouse and keyboard.
    Corrupted USB device/file system the USB device works fine in other PC.
    Lack of permission As mentioned I'm using administrator profile, is there still a chance I have no permission? The PC hasn't joined any organization domain.
    Bitlocker activated Negative, both my C: and USB devices aren't activated.

    I have also tried the Edit Group Policies (successful but not helping) and Change Letter of the Drive (system rejected), but to no avail.

    Looking forward to more helps!

    Cheers,

    Lester
