After Clean Win 10 install, no longer move/save files to external HDD
Hello All:
I installed an Archer C2600 router and connected to one of its USB3 slots an external USB3 hard drive and thought I gave all users permission to read/write all files on the external HDD.
Recently, I had to do a clean install of Windows 10 and since then, I have not been able to do the following:
(1) start portable apps that are saved on the external HDD;
(2) when downloading anything with a browser (usually Firefox, but also Edge and IE), I cannot save the downloaded file/executable/etc. straight to the external HDD; and
(3) I cannot cut and paste files/folders from an internal HDD to the external HDD.
Regarding No. 3, Explorer just continues to show 0% complete and when I go to cancel the transfer, the already open dialogue box indicates it is canceling, but never stops "Canceling[.]"
Q: Can anyone help me trouble shoot what the problem might be?
Thank you,
edsager
