    Hi,
    Can I ask you something???

    I'll do my best explaining
    technically in writing...

    In late December 2024 I purchased a
    Centon DataStick Sport
    512GB USB 3.2 Flash
    Drive S1-U3W2-512
    Got it???

    I have Windows 11 on a HP tower,
    "Plug and Play".
    When I insert the 512 GB flash drive,
    3.2. I was able to format it.
    Or it was already format as NTFS.

    Okay, I was able to storage all of
    my files that required toward that size.

    Then LATER, in months or so, when
    I decided to look at my files on the
    512 GB 3.2 flash drive....

    Windows 11 won't load it!!
    All it shows "New rename"!!!!!

    What??? Windows think that
    flash drive has not been format
    or empty.

    And sometimes Windows 11
    freeze because it does NOT
    recognize that flash drive.

    It take a while for Windows 11
    to recognize by re-start the computer.
    What's wrong with Windows 11??

    Same problem with ScanDisk
    256 GB 2.0 flash drive.

    Once I filled with files, than the
    next day or so Windows 11
    doesn't recognize it by thinking
    "New rename".

    Do you recognize this problem with
    Windows 11 AND with Windows 7??

    And of course with VISTA.

    What's wrong with these Windows
    that do NOT recognize flash drives
    that are version 3.2 that I stored on??

    Or maybe every time Windows 11 receives
    UDPATES, it sometimes screws things up.

    It either Microsoft doesn't know people are
    using flash drive version 3.2 or lower,
    version 2.0.
    And whatever their updates are, can
    screw things up on the computer.
    Such as Not recognize the device or
    icon displays.

    Do you know??

    Hope all helps with answers??

    Thank you,
