I have a Kingston 8Gb USB drive that causes all my other USB drives to be labelled as KINGSTON ur drive when connected to the PC. Formatting and renaming doesn’t cure this.
They all work OK but it’s annoying and confusing.
Can anybody offer a cure for this please, Thanks , Mike

Thanks for your reply. It is only other usb drives that are affected and they stay affected. If formatted and renamed they revert to Kingston when next plugged in
