Hey there, @merdfa!

Is this the PC you have installed the WD My Passport for the first time? Make sure you are logged as administrator due to the fact that the error could be caused by not having enough rights (Windows security).

If these steps still don't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the WD My Passport as a device from Device Manager.

Hope this helps. Keep me posted! :)
