USB Floppy disk drives not working in Windows 10 - Microsoft Community


hi,

as several other "oldies" noticed problem show floppy disk in file explorer. after searching long time best , easiest workaround "cafejose" in forum @ bleepingcomputer.com. or wrote following:

"i found way work around this.  when right clicked on tray icon prepare remove floppy drive ( seems strange try, since no such item shown in file explorer), there item listing, "devices , printers".  i clicked on item, , window appeared showing devices , drives, , there - floppy disc drive a:\ shown.  the devices , printers window showed menus @ top of window, 1 menu item saying "browse", , clicked on down-arrow.  a window looked file explorer opened, , there see contents of floppy disc in floppy drive.

now, that, reopening file explorer show floppy disc a:\ drive?

no!"

strange behavior windows10 think, way bit easier install (or start-up) virtual machine e.g. winxp reach files on floppy disks! "cafejose"!
