    Cannot access to all my external HDD even changing USB port.


    I have 2 WD external HDD. I removed them to clean my desk and then reconnect them to the same USB port. They are no more recognized by windows 11 and managed correctly so I cannot access to them.Checking "device manager" I see one of them but there is no way to assign a letter and access it, all options including "change volume label" are gray and not selectable.The other one does not even appear in the list, even changing usb port.I have tried to update any driver, even installing the last WD driver manually but nothing changed. From the following link I installed both WD Discovery and WD
