Evening everyone :)

I have a question about this error I keep getting when plugging in one of my USB 3.0 stick (which I normally use for college to store work on).

Whenever I plug in it my PC or laptop it says "USB not recognized" and it doesn't load (it also stops blinking). I have tried to scan for it in device manager but nothing. It would just not show up.

(Last time I was in college which was Friday it worked just fine but I haven't used it since and now this happened)

Also, when I unplug it, there is that specific sound the windows makes when something gets unplugged.

Any idea on how I can fix this :D ? I kinda need the stuff that's on it :D

Well, the USB ports work, all of them 2.0 and 3.0 but that particular USB stick doesn't and gives the error.

But since then I've noticed the "Unknown USB device" in the device manager which is showing up even when the "faulty" usb stick is not plugged in.

Also, when I restarted my pc, the USB being unplugged sound came on right after all the programs started up which was weird
 
could be bios issue,it passes the info onto the os,all the components installed ect at startup

plug it in and pop in the bios/look in qflash and see if the stick shows up there
 
Ok so i checked in q-flash and it shows it, with all the folders in it as well.

Also it shows the UEFI sing or whatever that is above the drive if i go to the booting sequence.

EDIT: Ok so I went forward and uninstalled the USB drive which was showing as an error in Device Manager (also updated to F7) and now, even if the usb is NOT plugged in the pc, the "usb could not be recognized" notification pops up and i can see it again in the device manager.

i don't even know wtf is happening anymore -.-

(When plugged in, the USB is shown as the USB Mass Storage Device, the other one above I have no idea :( )
