I can not access my external hard drive (Toshiba 2 TB) from another user account. I use a HP530 laptop, windows 10 edition 32 bits, last update, I use the administrator account by default, and configure my external hard drive with full access for this user. Then I created a standard user account, and when I switched to this account, I was surprised that I did not have access to my external hard drive, although the system detected it. please help. Thank you.

you have to login to your computer as a user with administrator level. right-click on your drive. security tab. make sure the list includes the following.
  • SYSTEM
    Authenticated Users
    Administrators
    Users
ok. apply to all subfolders.
