Win 10: USB devices get no drive letter assigned

There is an issue with Windows 10 (I don’t know, if earlier versions do the same) that USB devices will be recognized, but will not get a drive letter assigned.
Usually what you can do, is every time open the drive manager and assign a new drive letter to the device.
But doing this often is a pain and cumbersome.
Third party fixes promise solutions (many times by altering something in the registry).
Fortunately, there’s an easy Windows-onboard solution that does not require any third-party software or registry modification.

1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator (search for Command Prompt in the Start Menu, right click, Run as Administrator)
2. Type ‘diskpart‘ and press Enter.
3. Once in the DISKPART command prompt (it takes several seconds to load) type ‘automount enable‘ and press Enter.

That will re-enable automatically mounting new volumes, fixing the issue.
