USB Mass Storage Example "M1_FileSystemEmulation" not showing up as drive in Windows10 only

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FG6626

The USB example project titled "M1_FileSystemEmulation" from USB library contained in MSPware v3.6 was compiled and built in CCSv6.2 on MSP430FG6626 + TS430TPZ100AUSB. The program appears to work as expected  and shows up as a lettered drive on:

(1) MAC OSX

(2) Linux (Ubuntu)

(3) Windows7 (32-bit)

But not in WIndows10 (64-bit) ...

In Window10 (64-bit)--I have only 1 computer with this OS -- It enumerates (produces expected USB insert and disconnect beeps) and when inserted, appears as a Mass Storage Controller under the device manager with the status 'this device is working properly'. But no drive letter is assigned and disk manager shows the disk but with no space and no way to format it. My other thumb drives do work on this Windows10 (64-bit) computer, but they are a much larger capacity. Does anyone know what could cause this?

    Hello Bradford,

    Are you able to open the device and read and write files to it even though it does not have a drive letter assigned to it? I am not sure what is going on but if I will look into it and get back to you.

    Regards,

    No I cannot interact with the device, but I now have additional information. The Event log for the device shows:

     

    I have a suspicion that this error might  have to do with my particular instance of Window10 but I have no other Windows10 computer to try at hand. There is some information online about such an error, but the remedies have not yet worked for me so far.

    Best Wishes,

    B
