Hi , im Kenney , im having an issue with my PNY 3.0 flashdrive , on both my laptop and desktop computer it will only show in disc management , however on the other windows 10 computer in my house it works fine. (both my desktop and laptop run windows 10). i have already called and used MS Free Support , but they could not do anything , without moving me to paid support , i cant spare money for that right now so thats out of the option , there best suggestion was to try updating my drivers. all my drivers were up to date (At least on the labtop , i have not checked the desktops. i have tried formating my PNY drive on ubuntu 16 , and on both windows computers , it does not show no matter what file system i give the drive , it only shows up on disc management on both the windows computers i use. yet it still works fine on the other computer i mentioned eariler... Windows troubleshooting can not figure out whats wrong with the drive as well. and just for information sake , MS Free Support already tried messing with the auto play settings , and creating another user profile on the computer , none of which worked. I Really need this flashdrive working , it was around 50$ and its 125 Gigs. ill leave my technical information below. this is my first time on this site , i hope someone here can help me with my issue. (if more tech info is required , i think speccy might give more tech info than tech support guys system info , so let me know if more tech info is needed to help me slove my issue.)

* Summary of primary issue
My PNY 3.0 125Gb flashdrive is not working on my 2 main computers ,it is only showing up in disk management. the drive however works fine on the other computer in my house. I Dont think its an issue with the flashdrive , so its most likely an issue with my 2 main computers. I have already ran a check , there is no dead usb ports , nor is it my drivers. Other flashdrives work on my 2 main computers just fine.
(PS - Ms Free Support did not try anything on my desktop , nor have I , i just know its having the same issue. i have only tried all my ways i could of think of fixing this myself on my laptop)

Does it have a "drive letter" in Disk Management? If not, can you assign one?
