Windows 11 recognize USB memory sticks but doesnt let me enter it

Question

Hello,

I have a trouble with my USBs. When I enter the memory stick (I tried several of them to ensure that the problem is not the stick), I can see in the downer right corner that some USB was inserted. However, I can not enter its space anyhow. It doesnt show up in "This PC". I also use USB mouse and when I enter it to the same port it works fine.

I must say, I have never had so many issues with any Windows version like with 11. Its really annoying when basic things do not work and it restrict you from working.

Greetings,

First of all, update the USB (Chipset) drivers with the appropriate bit value for Windows 11. Then, can you observe the status of your Flash memory from the Disk Management module? Maybe you need to assign a letter path, maybe it is a device that has not been formatted yet. By the way, have you tried it on another computer?

Answer 2

Hello,

Firstly, you could try to check the security update, if any security update could be found, installing them to check.

Then check the device manager, if any USB driver has a yellow icon, please try to download the usb driver from the vendor, then install it to check.

Perform a clean boot.
