Decèdere Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 I have this new thumb drive. I deleted the partition on it and created a new one via Windows disk management. Whenever I try to copy files to it this error pops up, and keeps popping up repeatedly until I remove the goddamn thing, making it a little difficult to even troubleshoot the problem. I can copy small files to it, but larger file operations inevitably cause the error again. Sometimes just plugging it in causes the error. I'm at my wits end and I'm tired of fucking with Windows' bullshit. Anyone here know what could be causing this? The only thing I've really tried besides re-creating the partition is opening device manager and uninstalling the "external USB drive" driver.
gregathit Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 Have you updated windows lately? If not, try doing that. Windows auto updated a couple of things without my permission, which then broke pretty much most of my usb functionality. I manually forced the rest of the updates to happen and boom, all the normal functions of usb were back working. Worth a try.
Decèdere Posted January 31, 2021 Author Posted January 31, 2021 I'll give it a shot. I've actually had updates disabled since I installed this OS.
gregathit Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 I'm with you there. I've always followed the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" philosophy. However when it does break, well............?
Decèdere Posted January 31, 2021 Author Posted January 31, 2021 When it does break it bothers you for weeks until you've finally had enough. Turns out it was the USB port. I used a different one and it works fine. Well now I'm all up to date and the flash drive is working. ?
