Causes and solutions for unresponding USB device insertion under win7

When we insert a USB or other mobile storage device into a computer host, a dialog box appears asking you to select an item (by default, the system takes "Open folder to view files" as the first option, 1 ). Now, some Windows 7 users may find this situation. When you insert a brand new USB mobile storage device and the system prompts that the device can be used normally, there is no "automatic playback" window that everyone is familiar. What is the cause?

Do not think this is a problem with the USB device or a bug occurs in the Windows 7 system. In fact, this is caused by the default settings of the system. Let's first solve this "not a problem" and finally tell you the cause of this situation.

In Windows 7 Resource Manager (or open any folder), press the Alt key (If your system is not set to force display the toolbar, press this key ), select "Tools> Folder Options" in the pop-up menu ".

Then, switch to the "View" tab in the "Folder Options" dialog box to pull the right sliding block (to the middle position ), deselect the default "hide empty drive in computer folder" check box in Windows 7.

After the modification, click "OK" to save the settings and exit.

According to the solution, some netizens may already know that Windows 7 cannot automatically play some USB devices, but Windows 7 only recognizes and does not run some empty USB devices by default. If you want to ask why you need to set the default settings for Windows 7, this is really "not a problem ".
