I upgraded to windows 10 a while back and as soon as I upgraded it changed something in my security settings so that I can no longer access files on removable storage devices. I tried two different flash drives and a memory card from my camera and none of them work. There's no security tab when I go to properties for the device, and in the sharing section the networks for private and public have file and printer sharing turned on. What do I need to access to change the security settings?
I have a Lenovo by the way. And the flash drives work because my boyfriend has an acer that s also upgraded to windows 10 and I can open files on his computer, just not mine.
Upgraded to windows 10 and now I don't have access to removable storage devices?

We're M$. Resistance is futile. Your puters and lappies will adapt to service us. We will add your technology to our own. M$ has announced that Windows is NOT a top priority. Pushing people to use the cloud and mobile has become their focus now. The truth about Windows 10 is coming out.
Going back to your original OS is your best bet. Windows 10 is a nightmare of an OS that is going to get worse as time goes by. Between the forced updates to the built in back door you will have no idea what is happening to your puter. It's funny how you never had a problem with your original OS, then you upgrade, and now people tell you that if you go back you are going to have problems. DO THEY KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE ROLL BACK WE DON'T.
If it has been less then 30 days try this. Back up everything important and then try clicking Start, Settings, Update & security, Recovery, Go back to (last version)
If it has been more then thirty days then you're out of luck and are going to have to do it the hard way. You won't be able to use the recovery partition since you upgraded to 10. M$ deletes it to keep you from going back. It is my opinion that M$ deletes the recovery partition to keep people from going back to their old OS. I guess if you write as many bad OSes as they do you got to find a way to make it look like everyone likes it. If M$ deleted your recovery partition then you will need to order the recovery DVD's from the manufacturer. Some manufactures still have recovery DVD. Post your make and model and I'll see if they are available.
If you had Windows 8.1 you can use the link below to go back. You need to back up everything up and make sure you have a good product key on the bottom of the lappy. I do suggest that you download all your drivers before attempting this.

If you had Windows 7 then posts the make and model and I'll see if it can be done. We have had a lot of success so far getting people back to 7 if you are willing to do the work.
Make sure when you go back that you DO NOT let these updates in. M$ is now hard coding spyware ( back door ) into Windows 7 and 8. Go to the control panel and click on Windows updates. In the upper left corner click on change settings. Then change important updates to never check for updates. This puts your updates in the manual mode. Reboot the system and go back to your control panel. Click on Windows updates and then click check for updates. Find the update KB 3035583 and hide it so it does not get installed again. Let us know if this does not work, M$ keeps coming up with new methods to force 10 on people.
You should also uninstall these updates and hide them too. KB 3068708 KB 3022345 KB 3075249 KB 3080149 These updates give 7 and 8 the same spying capability as 10 has.
You should also uninstall these updates and hide them too KB 2952664 KB 2976978 KB 2977759 KB 3050265 KB 3050267 KB 3068708
These have to do with compatibility with being upgrade to 10 and need to be dealt with.

Chances are, the USB controller on your computer's motherboard requires a driver that isn't compatible with the common Windows 10 stock driver. To tell this, go to Device Manager and look for any devices with exclamation points or question marks. If some of these are in the USB area, you need to go to the Lenovo website and download drivers.
