My Passport (WDBY8L0020BSL-01) not recognized by Win10

Suddenly My Passport stopped being recognized by File Explorer under Win10. I can still see it (Local E:) and under Device Manager (WD My Passport 0748 USB Device), light on the drive is blinking and it appears drive is spinning. Is there a workaround to access the drive and retrieve the files? I replaced USB cable, reinstalled
OS w/all drivers to no avail… I’m about to loose my mind!

I have all my work / music / movies and personal files library I CAN NOT loose… Pls help!

Thanks.

Hello there,

Have you tried connecting the drive on a different computer to see if this happens again?

Hi,
Yes I have, w/Win7, same results, nothing.
