50USB Drive Not Appearing in This PC but Visible in Disk Management [Tutorial]
If your USB drive is not appearing in This PC, but it is visible in the Disk Management panel in Windows 10, then this post will be able to help you fix the issue. Whether this problem occurs with a pen drive, external hard drive, or even a partition of your internal hard drive, the solution is the same.
Let’s assume that you have connected a USB drive to your Windows 10 computer, but it is not appearing in This PC or File Explorer. That means you cannot access the files. It could occur when some settings are changed randomly, or after a malware attack. It can also appear after a Windows Upgrade.
You installed a new hard drive in your computer and, to your dismay, it’s nowhere to be found. Don’t panic, you just need to give Windows a little nudge to bring it online.
The Most Common Reason Your Disk Is Missing:
You grabbed a nice big hard disk on sale, you cracked open your computer case, plugged the drive into the motherboard and power supply with the appropriate cables (no? better double check that before you keep reading), and when you booted your computer back up the new hard drive was nowhere to be found.
