Im using windows 10 but this is a problem with my USB as this is a similar case with other computers using other versions of windows.

The USB drive is not readable by any other computer - correct?

What error code or other window/message appears when you try open/view a file?

What was the source of the file? Maybe they did not copy correctly? What software was used?

By "devices section" do you mean Device Manager? Try Disk Management instead.

Need to learn more about the current formatting and partioning of the USB drive. What make and model?

Im using an integral 8gb usb. No error message popped up. When i went into my file manager it did not show up that it was plugged into my laptop but in the device manager section it showed up. I right clicked on it to try and open it but the view files option was opague and it wouldnt let me click on it.
