    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft community.

    I would suggest you follow the steps below and see if it helps:

    Method 1: I would suggest you first try the Troubleshooter.

    Please follow the steps below:


    • Type “Troubleshooting” on the Windows Search bar and hit enter.

    • On the left side of the Troubleshooting window, click on “View all”

    • Click on Hardware and Devices. Please provide a password if asked for it and click ok.
    Method 2:


    • Press Windows key + X key and click Device Manager.

    • Expand the Sound, Video and game controllers.

    • Right-click on the Disk Drives and click on Properties.

    • Go to the Drivers Tab and Click Enable (If not enabled).

    • Restart the computer and check.
    Hope this helps. Please reply if you have further related queries.

    Regards,

    WIN10 search not returning results from indexed drive

    Greetings

    Windows 10 taskbar (Cortana) search is not returning results from an indexed drive. Both the C and D drives are indexed (specific Locations) and task bar search returns results from everywhere but the D drive. However, if I search via file manager search
    returns all the results.

    I have tried

    • rebuilding the index
    • stating and stopping the service
    • running the troubleshooter (find a permissions problem)
    The machine is fully patched with the latest release.

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    THX Paul

    WINDOWS 11 - BLANK WHITE TASKBAR WHEN CONNECTING AND OPENING AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE

    Hi, I'm Anvar, I'd be glad to help you today on this

    The file explorer or taskbar freezes while connecting an external drive indicates a hardware problem on the drive connected

    suggested to try below steps to isolate the issue

    Try on another USB port (a USB 2 port is suggested)

    Try on another computer

    Try with another USB adapter

    Hope this helps.
