I did all of those things but to no avail.

Then, being down at heart I rallied to the power of prayer, meditation and peace of mind thinking good and kind things about my computer's most latest flawless working life and asked for the absolution of whatever evil spirit lurked within its soul.

Voila .............. the next time I put life into its heart the computer booted up, came to life and its performance clearly evidenced that the evil spirit had been cast out.

John,

If you haven't already done so, I would power the desktop all the way
down, and restart it, with the external drives connected.  If that
doesn't get them recognized, then unplug and replug the USB connections,
with the Start/Computer screen display in view.

Until two days ago my Win10 desktop machine recognized two 8tb
external hard drives used for backup purposes. Both drives were
accessible through Windows Explorer.

Yesterday that recognition was lost for reasons unknown.

I have checked the life of the Win10's USB ports via the device
drivers tab in the control panel. The USB ports all look to be active.

The Win10 machine still recognizes a 1tb external hard drive.

Both 8tb drives are recognized by my notebook running Win 8.1

Is there any advice on how I can get my Win10 machine to again
recognize those two 8tb drives?

Thanks
