Update to Windows 10 nightmare
Boggin:
Were those previous scans done on the main C: drive or the external HDD ?
You normally put the drive letter first that you want to check but I've seen the cmd written as chkdsk /f /x /h: where h is the drive.
Did you put a space before each forward slash ?
Sometimes the forum will allow you to copy and paste the cmd which is helpful when it is a long line, but you shouldn't have any problems with this one.
Have you tried different USB ports with either the USB sticks or the HDD ?
Boggin:
Does AutoPlay come up when you insert an USB stick ?
Phototaker:
I haven't had time to try again yet but I can tell you this that everything that has a USB connection causes Windows to make sound. None of these devises makes Autoplay open up. This includes portable HDD's both in a caddy or out,phone. tablet, or stick even thought I have set to to either open to music,picture or notify & ask every time. As I said it appears to be Windows problem as a quick search on Google reveals that heaps of people have the same unresolved problem.
Boggin:
I don't know if you have tried this from your Google searches but check the Shell Hardware Detection service is set to Automatic and Started.
In Win 7 you would go Start - type services.msc and press enter then scroll down to that service - it may be similar for Win 10.

I still haven't been able to get the check disk function to work from the CMD line. I have also tried running PC with both the "Shell Hardware detection turned both on & off & this made no difference.
I have tried many various USB devices into PC & while they all get Windows to a make sound none triggers autoplay.
If anything tings seem to be getting stranger. If I plug in a USB stick that has a file that I would like to see I get momentary flicker of black & orange before it displays.
As I said at the start this is a new clear reinstall done in a PC shop which has a good reputation but I'm starting to wonder if they did something wrong. I have been reinstalling several programs that I own & maybe these can give clues as to what the problems are. Programs like Ashampoo's Win Optomizer 12. This can give quite a comprehensive list of everything on the PC I understand.
Or perhaps I should get the Windows event viewer looked at. Even file associations are wrong. For instance I have installed VLC player & told it be program for most media file types. Yet if I click on a file that is MP4 it asks me what program to open it with & I select VCL from the suggested list, I get asked the same question eve If I go back & play a second video file. Its as if File Association has amnesia.
I have classic file installed could this be the problem?
