    Hello Martin, First tell me that when you plug-in your usb stick it shows some data or empty. As you have not mentioned it in your question.

    In this situation there may be a chance that any how you checked the hidden mode. Simply go to properties and uncheck the hidden mode.

    I checked that and hidden mode did not checked, I think there might be some other problem due to which I can not see my files.

    I apologize Martin, But in my case when I am not able to see my data from USB stick then I did the same and every thing is fine. It did not work in your case, it means there is some other issue. I will try to find some other solution for this issue.

    Hello Martin, there are many issues which creates such situation. You first check in other device like (other computer, laptop etc.). Because some time is occurs due to hardware failure or particular driver failure.

    Martin you can execute a command on cmd definitely it will help you. Follow the steps given below.
    Step 1: – Go Run and type cmd and press Enter.
    Step 2: – Run the command attrib -h -r -s /s /d f:\*.*
    Here “f” is used as a usb drive, you can change according to you.

    There must be virus attack, in this situation you need to go for third party software which you can find on internet. But I always use a USB Drive Recovery Software, which you can also use. It is recommended that fist download the free demo version of the software and analyse all feature of the tool and invest for it.
