My 2 TB 2.5" USB 3.0 external disk is never found by my TV. When I plug it to my Windows 10 Pro, it is mounted properly (Disk Management can see it), but "offline" (i.e. without any letter assigned to it):
Is there any specific thing (like file system, disk feature, boot record type etc.) that is causing this?
Is there anything that I can do to have this disk accessible (i.e. under drive letter) every time, I connect it to my PC's USB port (and not being forced to rush to Disk Management to manually assign a letter to it each time; as I do right now)?
Of course, is there anything that I can do except formatting the disk, because in contains a 2 TB of data that cannot be lost.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices
manually (as in, remove all items except(Default)
in it) and reboot and see, perhaps. (Normally it won't break anything.)nodefaultdriveletter
attribute for the corresponding volume: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/…automount enable
did the trick. Care to craft an answer so I can accept it and bring you the rep? Thank you.
