I’ve had a weird issue where my Lenovo laptop no longer lets me access USB drives, either “thumb” or merely external. They show up in device manager but don’t work. Just started out of the blue a couple of weeks ago and it’s driving me crazy.

Not that it’s a long drive!

Cheers,
Jim

No clue here, but do the ports work with usb devices (external mouse or keyboard, to charge your cell phone, etc)? In other words, do they just not work with external storage, or are they not working at all?

If it’s a driver issue (which I think my wifi issue was) try restoring to an earlier point, or download the drivers again from Lenovo.

Hmm - googled ‘lenovo usb ports not working’ and I turned up a batch of links, including a youtube.
