    USB stick is not showing up

    Hello, today I’ve got problem with my usb flash drive, where is my school things. The problem is that the USB is detectable (like it makes the sound when I put USB into laptop), but it will not show up in explorer, disk managment or device manager and I don’t wanna lose these things, becuase than I will be dead.

    Hello

    Did the flash drive show up in ( explorer, disk management or device manager ) prior to this?

          In addition to the already suggested/asked;

          Have you tried the device on another computer.

            I tried the USB on all computers that we have, and it didn’t work. Also I tried differents ports and we have windows 10 home edition.

              Being honest, that really is not good news.

              Couple of suggestions, one quick, one that will take longer.

              Try Recuva (free)

                  No worries but no need to reply unless it is to update your thread with new information or ask a question.

                    So, Recuva can’t find anything becuase it can’t find the usb, so the data are gone?

                        But has the device been working up until now.

                        What is the brand and model name or number of the computer that you have the USB device in.
