Hey there, General.

With OS upgrades this happens sometimes. So I'd recommend that you try the drive with a different computer/device, just to make sure that it's working properly. After that go ahead and try reinstalling or updating the Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller's driver, to see if that fixes things up. You could also try updating your BIOS/UEFI. Also, check if the drive is recognized at all in BIOS, Device Manager and/or Disk Management and please post a screenshot of what you see there about the drive (if it's recognized).

Hope that...
