Windows 11 - Lose access to external disk

Hi,

I have an external HDD and every time I connect it in a different computer I lose access to it.
This has never happened in the past. I don’t know if the problem is Windows 11.
I have 2 laptops. I used to connect my external HDD to any of them and I never lost access to it.

Thank you,

Dextrogiro.
