USB is a tool to support storage and sharing of data effectively for computer users,  laptops . However, sometimes the computer device and the  USB  will not be compatible due to certain errors, including the case when the computer does not recognize the USB after installing a   new Windows . Here are ways to fix this.

1. Try plugging in USB on multiple ports

With the error that the computer does not recognize the USB after installing Windows, it may not be due to the software, but because you accidentally plugged the USB into the faulty or broken connection port only. So try the easiest way is to attach it to other USB ports on  the computer . If the port is different from the computer receiving the USB, the error is in the original connection port. Also in the case if the USB port does not recognize while you plug in the  mouse  and the keyboard is still normal, there is a high possibility that the USB is having problems.
