If you most likely did a fresh install of windows, the issue would go away. Something is corrupt, you can try doing the SFC /SCANNOW command at a command prompt to see if any files are corrupt or altered.

Thanks will try the scan --- will see if I can find the disc -- do a fresh install ... " Need to be the administrator running a console session " -- so have to remember the path ..

Hello, good evening, the problem that you have, I think, are the USB mass storage controllers will be defective. Try updating all the drivers, one by one until you recognize your device when plugging in to the PC greetings.

Try to update all your drivers and recognize your device when you plug in to your computer. You can also use the SFC /SCANNOW command to find out the corruption. This can fix your problem.
