Windows 10: SANDISK NOT SHOWING ON PC

Hi, I have a SANDISK USB which i use daily. I was using it last night and have never had any issues. This morning when i plugged it in it didnt flash and wouldnt show on the computer. I tried all differnt ports and 3 differnt computers and the USB wouldnt work. Ive googles and tried suggestions in disk manager but the USB is not showing at all. How do i get my files off??

Win10 PC Bluetooth does not find SanDisk MP3 player

Thank you for this response.

a) No error messages are received on either the Win10 PC or the SanDisk at any time.

b) Restart in Safe Mode with Networking did not detect the San Disk (from the Win10 PC), or the Win10 PC (from the SanDisk)

c) I am not familar with the concept of a 'clean boot with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs'. I take it that this is not the same as a Windows startup in Safe Mode.

d) I will read that article; however, please note that I displayed the SanDisk in Device Manager, displayed it's driver, told Windows to update that driver, and was informed that it was currently using the most current driver.

 

Upgrade breaks SanDisk ReadyCache.....


Still nothing from SanDisk but they have formally said to me that they are working on a fix.

One step forward.

If anybody else is having this issue then it is worth raising a case with SanDisk to get it fixed.

New SanDisk with SecureAccess shows a red bar in "this PC"

I bought a new SanDisk Ultra Flair 3.0 Flash Drive, 64 GB "speeds up to 150 MB/sec"

It is storing my Macrium Free 7 backup for my HP 840 G2 as is the identical SanDisk bought a few years ago [package indicates the same] for my G3. Both were filled with their similar backups.

While loading the new one it showed red instead of blue (see attachments), so I thought I did something wrong in the setup, deleted Macrium, also in Registry, downloaded and reinstalled Macrium and emptied the new disk. Before emptying it, I could see that on top of and below the several 4GB stored Macrium backup segments there was a bar indicating "SecureAccess" so I was very careful NOT to delete those SanDisk lines.

Then I made a new backup and as it loaded into the new, now empty SanDisk ... the % capacity bar in "this PC" showed blue. but when complete it turned red.

I inserted the newly filled-with-backup SanDisk into both the G2 and G3 to check, and BOTH HPs showed the % capacity bar as red. To further check, the older one, now re-filled with its new backup, still shows blue. So this is SanDisk-related and not to which PC it is in! (G2: 21H1; G3: 2004)

I did not do anything re: "SecureAccess" (one must download a special program) and it is presumaqbly not password secured.

Question: is the red bar only indicating that this SanDisk Flash Drive has the ABILITY to use "SecureAccess"?

OR ... is the new one filled up too much?!
