What do you mean you haven't been able to? What happens when you attempt to do so? Do you get an error message, and if so, what does it say? Or does absolutely nothing happen?

Hmm well you said it was recently updated. What devices are you trying to connect. USB drives or other USB connected storage devices? Are these devices detected by your PC? You may need to try updating drivers.

I had the same problem with my external hard drive. It's actually a compatibility issue with Mac drivers and your external drivers. My friend suggested to download Paragon NTFS for Mac, now it works perfect. I just downloaded it and installed, very simple.
