Windows 10: Recurring USB errors

For some time now, I've been getting some error messages on at least two USBs both almost 1TB and of which I have used only 7%-10% of memory on each that I've gone through.The previous USB I had that keeps repeating the message “Please insert the last disk of the multi-volume set” every time I put it in and then made most of my mov files inaccessible, which I think was because of me downloading a bulky zip file of my smartphone photos into my previous USB from my iCloud, if memory and retracing serves right. For some reason, I couldn't even open up my photos to view them even after

Recurring Explorer error that I cannot trace

I'd consider myself a fairly advanced home user, even daring to call myself a superuser but I've recently experienced a recurring error dialog that I cannot trace that is driving me mad.

My workstation is a Windows 10 64Bit Version 1809 (Build 17763.316) and I get the recurring dialog:

"This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Settings page."

What's weird is that there is no corresponding log in the event viewer under the "Application" or the "System" event logs. Is there anything I can do to trace this issue further?

Applications running at the time of error:

• Visual Studio 2015
  
• SQL Server Management Studio
  
• Google Chrome (only my web app is open and there's nothing that calls for an app to open)
  
• Eset NOD32 Antivirus (12.1.31.0)
  
• Sticky Notes
  

Is there a way to enable advanced debugging or trace what process is trying to open a file? There are no scheduled tasks that would suggest they're the cause of this issue either..

 

Recurring error screen

Hi,

When do you receive the error message box?

I suggest you to uninstall the display drivers and reinstall them in compatibility mode and check:

To uninstall the driver, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + R.
• Type devmgmt.msc.
• Right click on the driver you want to uninstall
  
• Click on Uninstall.
• Restart the system.

After the computer restarts, install the driver in compatibility mode:

• Select the setup file.
• Right click on it and click on properties.
• Click on Compatibility tab.
• Select the operating system.
• Click Ok.

Hope this helps.
