Summary: One of our readers recently reached out to us and asked for a solution to his problem where his USB flash drive – when plugged in – was constantly connecting and disconnecting. He added, “Sometimes Windows asks me to format the drive, but I don’t want to format the drive as there are important videos and photos that I can’t afford to lose. I haven’t formatted the drive yet, please help!”. So here in this blog we gave all the possible solutions for this problem.

Here’s the solution,

With all the necessary device lists expanded, keep an eye on it and see if anything keeps disappearing and reappearing from the lists as your PC makes the sounds. If you manage to spot the misbehaving device, right-click it (you may need to go to “View - Show hidden devices” first if it keeps disappearing because it’s disconnecting. The SD card problem was introduced when I installed Windows 10. All hail Lenovo Support for not updating their drivers pages for older laptops!;) I don't put up with that type of 'support', so I found the solution myself. I keep a 128Gb micro SD permently in my SD slot using a shortened SD card adapter, doubling my storage (my SSD is only 128Gb).

A USB flash drive that is constantly giving this error while connected to a Windows PC via USB port can be both an annoying and worrying experience at the same time. Annoying since it’s constantly connecting and disconnecting; worrying as the data stored on the drive is inaccessible and if the problem is not solved quickly, it may lead to data loss.

The problem could be caused by software issues or hardware faults on either side – With the PC itself or else with the flash drive. Common factors that can lead to such issues are:

Bad sectors
Corrupt file
Overheating of internal components
Physical damage to the USB drive

How to solve this issue?

There are few probable solutions for USB flash drive recovery. Below we have discussed some quick fixes that you may try to repair your constantly connecting and disconnecting USB drive.

First, check if there is any physical damage to the USB drive. If possible, remove the outer cover and check if any USB connection to the board is broken. If everything looks good, proceed to the solutions we have mentioned below.

Solution 1. Try other USB ports and Systems

It’s quite possible that the USB drive is not getting ample amount of power or there is an issue with the USB port. Unplug and try other available ports. If the issue still persists, unplug it and plug it into a different PC. Check if you are able to access the drive.

This solution might seem odd but it did work for some people. Sometimes, it happens the issue lies within the system; however, it can be easily solved using this simple troubleshooting technique. Most importantly, if this solution works, take a backup and format the drive. Also, repair your Windows. If this doesn’t work, proceed to the next solution.

Solution 2. Use CHKDSK utility

The check disk (chkdsk) utility can help you find out the errors that reside on your USB or any other storage drive. The utility scans the storage drive for file system errors, bad sectors, etc. that makes the drive inaccessible and then tries to fix them simultaneously. Follow the instructions given below to try and repair your USB drive:

Press ‘Windows + Q’ and type cmd.
Right-click on ‘Command Prompt’ and then choose ‘Run as Administrator’.
A new CMD window appears. Type chkdsk X: /r /f where X is the USB drive letter and /r, /f are the chkdsk parameters.
Press the ‘Enter’ key to begin the error-checking & repair process via chkdsk.
When finished, remove the USB drive and try connecting it again. If you are able to access the USB drive then take a backup of your data and format the USB drive.

Solution 3. Reinstall Device Drivers

Sometimes, due to virus infection or OS errors, USB or other drivers might get damaged. However, you can easily uninstall and reinstall the new USB drivers via Device Manager that fixes most issues including the one we are discussing in this post. To reinstall the device drivers, follow these instructions:

Press ‘Windows + Q’ and type Device Manager.
Click on ‘Device Manager’ and then double click on ‘Disk Drives’ to expand it.
Look for your connected USB drive. Right-click on it and select ‘Uninstall drivers’
Click Uninstall when prompted to confirm the uninstallation.
Now disconnect the USB thumb drive and then after few seconds, connect it again via USB port.

Check if you are able to access your USB flash drive or not. If you are able to explore the USB drive via File Explorer, immediately backup your important data and then format the drive.

Solution 4. Run SFC Scan

The ‘USB flash drive constantly disconnecting’ problem could also arise if some important system files on your Windows are damaged or corrupt. SFC or System File Checker is a utility provided in Windows that helps in repairing those corrupt and damaged system files by replacing them with a new ones. To scan and repair your system files using SFC scan, follow these steps:

Press ‘Window + Q’ and type cmd.
Right-click on ‘Command Prompt’ and choose ‘Run as administrator’. A new CMD window appears.
In the CMD window, type SFC /scannow and press the ‘Enter’ button. SFC scan begins.
Wait until SFC scan finishes. Once finished, restart your system and connect the USB drive.

Check if it’s accessible now via File Explorer. Copy the data if you can access it and then, as a precaution, format the USB drive.

Solution 5. Use a Data Recovery tool

This is the final solution when none of the above-mentioned solutions works. Using a reliable data recovery tool, such as Stellar Data Recovery- Standard for Windows, can help you recover data from an inaccessible, corrupt, damaged, and even from a formatted USB drive. All you have to do is follow these simple steps:

Download and install the Stellar Data Recovery- Standard for Windows software.

Connect your USB flash drive to the system and then run the program.
From the ‘Select what to recover’ screen, click either ‘All Data’ to recover all file types from the USB drive or select individual checkbox to recover specific files and folders. Click ‘Next’.

Under ‘Connected Drives’, select the USB thumb drive.

Turn on the ‘Deep Scan’ toggle switch that appears at the bottom-left corner of software screen. Click ‘Scan’.
Wait until the scan is finished. Deep Scan takes time as it digs deep into the USB data blocks and extracts every piece of data that it finds by running multiple passes.

When finished, in the left Tree View pane, you see all recovered folders and files. Click on the ‘File Type’ tab to easily find & recover required data. You can also click on a file to preview it before you begin recovery.

Click the checkboxes of the files & folders to recover and then click the ‘Recover’ button. A popup appears.
Click the ‘Browse’ button to choose the location where you want to save the recovered files and folders. Make sure not to select the same USB drive. Finally, click the ‘Start Saving’ button.

The selected recovered files and folders from the USB drive are saved at the specified location.

Conclusion:

Protect your system using a good antivirus program and also run scheduled ‘chkdsk’ scan on your systems hard drive and external drives to keep an eye on the drive health and avoid data loss situations. A scheduled backup is also an option and you must create a backup of important data as drives can fail anytime or attacks like Ransomware could take place without warning. Stellar Data Recovery- Standard is one such tool that can recover data from an infected, inaccessible, corrupt, formatted, and even from re-formatted storage devices like USB drives, SD card, Hard Disks, SSDs, etc.

Old, outdated or incorrect set driver is the second of the reason why you facing this issue.

Perhaps you did not have time to install updates for flash drivers. Or you have turned off the notifications and had no idea that you will ever need to update your driver.

Unfortunately, it is often outdated drivers that lead to the problem of USB drives disconnecting. So now is the time when it is necessary to update the driver. If you do not know how to do this, this guide is for you.

Right-click on Start and select Device Manager. In the new window, select Disk Drives. Find and right-click your USB drive. From the list, select Update driver. After that, an automatic search for possible updates and their installation will begin. Wait until the process is complete and restart the computer, then reconnect the USB drive and check if the USB drive keeps disconnecting or not. If all is well, back up the data from the drive just in case. If the problem persists, proceed to the next method.

Method 3. Correct USB controllers

USB controllers - it is an interface, that allows the computer to “communicate” with a flash drive.

To correct them - is helpful and simple method also involves the Device Manager.

Reinstalling correct USB controllers can help you with the problem of USB drives disconnecting and reconnecting on Windows 10.

So, open the Device Manager, as described in method 2; then select the tab “Universal Serial Bus Controllers' with the left mouse button. Find your disk controllers, then right-click on them and select Delete. To automatically reinstall the drivers for USB controllers, you just need to restart the computer. The USB drive should work properly.

If, however, this method did not help, proceed to method 4.

Method 4. Disable USB suspend

This is another method of how to correct the flash drive setting and get rid off the annoying issue.

Not all users are aware of the fact that when the flash drive is connected to a computer in standby mode for a long time, the power saving function is automatically activated. Thus, the USB flash drive keeps disconnecting, and you do not know why. Try disabling this feature at least temporarily to check if this is the cause of a USB drive keeps disconnecting in Windows 10.

So, on the Control Panel, find the Power icon and select the options tab. Then left-click on the tab Change advanced power settings. Now select “USB Settings”, then click on “Custom USB Suspend”. Here you need to select and apply the parameter 'Disabled'. It is recommended to restart the computer and then check if the error is gone. If not, do not be upset. There are a few more options in stock.

Method 5. Try SFC scan

Have you thought, that all methods are listed already? Of course no!

If you running Windows OS, then this method is pretty helpful. SFC is an excellent built-in tool for scanning and fixing disk errors. If your USB drive keeps disconnecting and reconnecting on Windows 10, try it.

First, you need to open the command line. This can be done by right-clicking Start and selecting “Command Prompt (administrator)”. Then type the following: “sfc / scannow”. Now press the Enter key. The scanning and error correction process starts. After the process is complete, restart the computer. Now check if the flash drive keeps disconnecting.

Method 6. Use DiskInternals Uneraser if some files are lost

If you see that all or some of your important data is missing from the drive, do not panic. You can easily retrieve them using DiskInternals Uneraser. It will easily restore files of any type, and the built-in wizard will help you not get lost in the program if you are doing this for the first time. You can also use the free preview function and make sure the recovery is correct. Plus, a free trial version of this product is available right now.

Diskinternals took care of you and has developed applications for all kinds of data loss. For example, if you have flash drive file system that fails, you can use Partition Recovery to recover the file system and restore files in it. In case you need to restore the specific file system, you can use FAT Recovery [for FAT 12/16/32], NTFS Recovery [for NTFS, NTFS 4/5] or Linux Recovery [Ext 3/4/5], depending on the file system of the flash drive. All these applications have a good built-in Recovery Wizard, so do not be afraid; you will not be left alone with your problem. You only need to choose the most suitable version of the application.

Therefore, do not hesitate; rather, start data recovery, as no one is immune from accidental overwriting of data. The earlier you use DiskInternals Uneraser, the more chances you have to retrieve the maximum number of files.
