I updated to Win11 several months ago. Last night was an update. The link you provided. Says I have the latest version, already.did you update to win 11 last night or just get an update?
Have you got latest version of WD DIscovery? Seems to be one from Jan here - https://support.wdc.com/downloads.aspx?lang=en
I got the external(2TB) drive to backup my HD(1TB). I do have an identical HD. I just haven't installed it yet. It worked before the recent Win11 update.it was probably this one, its sitting waiting to install on my PC - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...-preview-2b5f1da6-d602-48b4-b443-96b460e3c38d
you can check by looking in update history
what do you use discovery for? seems it updates WD Software. Do you need it to actually use the drive?
Okeydokey. I will ignore the backup notices Win11 keeps giving me and wait for the next update.like all problems started by windows, it could fix itself with another update. Its likely an unexpected result of another change.
you could always uninstall the update and set windows update to pause for a few weeks to see if problem is resolved.

Haven't received anymore notices for the screenshot. As for uninstalling the update, that is easy, regardless of the Win10 link.backup notices?
can you show a screenshot? upload to image sharing website and show link here.
i not sure why i gave you win 10 instructions but the steps are mostly the same, they just moved the menus.
