    Assigning a drive letter to the usb flash drive results in a error message. Unfortunately, nothing of this helps. My PC was detecting all USB flash drives without a problem but it won't do it any longer since I came back from a 2 week holiday. I turned off power in my household. First thing that happened when I rebooted my PC was an Windows update. After that USB drives are not recognized in the Windows explorer any longer. They are in disk management though but they cannot have assigned a drive letter.

      Yeah…. All my usb ports sporadically stop working for me and no “settings”solution works because well…. I can’t use a mouse or keyboard at all! Luck and restarting for hours is the only solution. I actually was able to do the first option successfully when my usb ports decided to work, but a couple of weeks later they stopped working again. I am beyond frustrated
