Sometimes, when you insert your Pendrive on your system, it may not be detected automatically. This usually happens with some newly brought Pendrives & it’s a usual problem that we all will have experienced at some point of time. Some people may think that their Pendrive is not functioning at all and tries to dump it. But before you do that, you may try this simple trick. It may or may not work in some systems but this is a simple procedure to make your undetected Pendrive to be detected.

STEPS TO BE FOLLOWED:
1. Plug in the pen drive on the system.
2. Go to device manager (or type “devmgmt.msc” in the run).
3. Click on “Universal serial bus controllers”.
This will show all the storage devices that you have connected to your PC including your undetected pen drive.
4. Right click on your undetected pen drive and click uninstall.
