Hello everyone
I connected my USB stick today. It contains files that are more or less old.
Antivirus analysis done, everything is fine.
When I try to open my files (all of them), a message appears saying the item cannot be found. My USB stick is recognized by the computer and is filled to 20 GB out of 32 available. I admit I'm in a panic.
Thank you for your responses, I'm crossing my fingers that it's nothing. It was working just a few days ago; I was opening my files without any problem.

Thank you for your reply, the problem is resolved. Following an update on my computer, my files became readable again. I don't know why, but my work is safe.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
Hello,
Try going to Folder Options > Show hidden files
Otherwise, go to Folder Options and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files." But if you do that, be careful: do not delete any file or folder you see because they are vital for Windows. You might find your files that have the hidden attribute grayed out. That would mean your drive is infected with a virus and action is required. Once you recover the files, it's better to check the "Hide files" box in Folder Options again.
