Hello DeeDee,
Yes, usually this issue happens when the computer object associated with the NTFS permissions has changed (for instance, if the drive was created under a different system, or if the system has been reinstalled with different computer name. Even the default groups are the same, the computer container is different. For example you may see PC01\Everyone but in your system is PC02\Everyone.
The solution for this is to make a takeover of the drive following the next steps:
1.Plugin the USB drive
2.Go to Start > Computer. Right-click the drive and choose properties.
3.Go to Security tab, then click Advanced.
4.Change the owner to yourself (replace on all child objects), then click OK to close all boxes.
5.Right-click the drive again and go back to properties.
6.Go to the security tab again, and this time click Edit, and give yourself full control.
If this doesn't work or you receive Access Denied error, it is possible that at some point this drive has been encrypted with a software like Bitlocker, to which the software should be configured to unlock the drive.
For example, for Bitlocker you can check the status of a drive through the "Manage Bitlocker" option, as related in the next article:

For other encryption programs, the original software would be required.
