Usb flash drive, please insert disk into drive error?

Hi Liz,

We'd like to gather additional information about the error that you encountered while using your USB drive. Please answer the following:

• Have you made any recent changes or installed updates prior to this issue?
• What is the make and model of your USB device?
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
• What build and version of Windows 10 are you using?

We hope to hear from you soon.

Generally with USB flash drives, when you get the 'Please Insert Disk' or 'Disk is write protected' error, the drive is faulty and cannot be fixed, sorry!

A lot of users use flash drives to store data, they really are only for moving data from one system to another as they can work for years or become faulty after very little use . . .

Since you have already tried possible solutions to the issue, we'd like to further isolate the issue. Have you tried using the USB drive to a different PC and the same issue occurred? At the same time, it can be that the USB drive is not detected by the PC because of a defective port. Have you tried to use all the ports available on your PC?

We'll be waiting for your update.
