2] Check if Automount is enabled

Automount is a service that works in order to mount every new disk. If it is disabled, you won’t be able to see the attached disk in the File Explorer (My Computer). And since you are seeing this issue, we are presuming that your system is failing to mount new drives.

We are going to use Command Prompt to check if the process is enabled and if it is not, we need to run a few commands. Open Command Prompt as an administrator from the Start Menu and execute the following commands.

diskpart
automount

If it is enabled for new volumes, you can move to the next solution. But if it’s disabled, execute the following command to enable Automount.

automount enable

Once, you have enabled the service, restart your computer and check if the issue persists. It will work, but it may not resolve the issue for you. So, what we would recommend you is reinstall the drivers. We have mentioned the guide in the next solution.
