I have an old Windows 7 desktop for the children, without internet connection, it has not received updates in a few years.
Now they tell me that when they insert certain types of flash drives (not Sandisk), the flashdrive gets ruined. They can't delete files from it, and they can't reformat it. I saw that this is true.
We dragged the old clunker over to the nearest network cable and tried get updates, but Windows updates failed, even after running the updates troubleshooter.
However, Avast updated, and a scan showed the system to be clean.
What is going on over here with the flash drives? The computer hasn't changed, and the flash drives haven't changed, but all of the sudden, they get corrupted.
