May have been because that was my usb it checked, but if not how do I solve?

#

Definitely not my usb drive as it’s been disconnected and I’m back in command prompt. Tried a couple other commands and it comes up with that or “cannot open volume for direct access”

#

It’s because you have that “use my USB to speed up my computer” option checked

#

Uncheck it, eject the USB & remount it & it’ll be fine

I tried it without the usb in too and it came up same issue, but how do you know that option even checked I didn’t even know it existed lol

#

Is there something there I’m missing that tells me?

#

Sorry I misunderstood I thought you meant you were scanning your USB

#

Do /F /R

#

It’ll ask you to run it on reboot

#

You’ll be good the

#

*then
