I've seen a lot of forums relating to this, but in some way or another, they are all different.

The drive is formatted to exFAT. I have worked off of it before on this computer, which is running Windows 10. It does not show up in disk management. The drive works fine on my mac, and I've tried different drives and cables with no prevail. I know the drive isn't the issue because I've tried others. I don't get notifications when they are plugged in and I can't eject them. I've updated/uninstalled/reinstalled my drivers. I checked for system updates.

I've never had this problem before and I haven't a clue how to fix it.

Thanks in advance

The drives are showing up now. I can't say that I found the solution though. I just booted bios again to see if it would show up. It didn't. I literally exited bios without a single change. But for some reason, and I won't question it, the drive shows up. If anyone knows why this is, I'd be curious to find out what happened/how to prevent in the future.

Thanks again!
