I reinstalled Windows and it fixed it, lol.
Recently had a strange issue pop up seemingly out of the blue. I have an external hard drive and several USB flash drives. Recently none of them work on my primary computer. I have tried various different solutions and contacted manufacturers for support with no response from them. When I plug the devices in they are recognized by the computer and show up in the device manager but appear under other devices. When I check properties it gives me code 28 that no drivers are installed. I have used all of these devices on this computer in the last few months with no problems. When I search for driver updates nothing can be found and manufacturer websites indicate that the device drivers come directly from windows and they do not provide downloads of any drivers. I have tried different USB ports, different cables, turned off power saving options, reformatted them and have had no luck. All three devices work on a separate laptop but not on my primary computer. Any ideas on how I can solve this or what might be causing the problem?
USB Drive Not Recognized in Windows 11, but Accessible in Windows 10
USB Flash Drive not showing up in file explorer
Windows 11 USB device not recognized.
USB Flash Drive not showing up in file explorer
Why does my USB work on one computer but not another?
Is there a way to repair a USB drive not detected without losing data?
Can see USB Drive in Device Manager but is not accessible from File Explorer?

The last USB device connected to this computer malfunctioned, was the message I received after plugging in the USB to connect my (roccat 7.1 elo) headphones. For some odd reason I can't connect the headphones after plugging it in, all that will happen is a series of disconnect and reconnect sounds. I've looked everywhere but can't solve my problem. Could someone please help?
I know that this is the wrong subreddit. Windows 11 cannot detect my USB stick and according to Disk Managment, Windows cannot detect the specified file. I cannot fix the issue and I am wanting to switch to Endeavour OS but I just cannot do it because the USB stick is inaccessible. File explorer cannot access it. I'm stuck with little to no clue on fixing this issue.
