What does that C hub look like? When plugged in, does it have open ports?

It has 3 X USB 3x and 3 X USB 2x ports.
ATM 2 X USB x 2.0 are open, with no drives plugged in.

I see G drive in Explorer but not in Disk Management

It's not further down, perhaps, is it?

Correct G is there down...…Disk #4.....empty.

Good, now right click on it, Change Drive Letter and Paths/Remove/...

I have plugged in the 2 empty slots too, they are showing but G is still empty...…

@Edwin , genius you did it.

No more G, showing in explorer.

Thanks a lot appreciate it

, but have a corrupt W11 on sfc scan...…any remedy?

Edwin · Oct 2, 2022

~~When you unplug all the removable stuff, you're saying that the G Drive disappears from Explorer as well???~~
Nevermind...

Remember that G, you might have to re-enable it..., I still think it's from that Card Reader slot.

Which matches the cbs.log you posted.
This log seems to have been created since your last SFC.
Windows does archive old versions whenever it wants to.

You'll have to run SFC again to have any SFC results in that CBS.log and hence in the extract of it made by Option 3.

Alexey2912 said:

That is the result you would get if you tried running a Repair install from an ISO / installation USB that was for a previous Version of Windows e.g. running a Repair install on a 22H2 computer but with a 21H2 ISO.

All the best,
Denis

Yes it does disappear, but now after removal from Disk Management it isn't showing in explorer. Only the letter G is...…C, D, E, F, H, I, J...…..No G letter for a drive. (most likely as you posted a card reader drive).

Could be but I haven't used inserted a card on this laptop.

Any remedy for sfc scan errors?

Or would I need to clean install from scratch.....

Thanks again!

1. I'm running a 22H2 on a 22H2 W11, why don't I get an option to save files/apps?
2. You want me to run a sfc scan and post it's results?
3. OR would I have clean install?

Thanks!

It seems to me that your SFC & Repair install attempts are not running correctly so I think you will end up having to clean install.
- I hope that somebody else contradicts me because that is a lot of work.
- I suppose it's possible that MS have got their tools' configurations wrong. They did have an error in their ISO once during Windows 10 that caused the problem you reported during a Repair install. I don't recall any SFC problems at the same time but it was several years ago.

@Bree Do you remember that problem?

Doesn't matter. I have 4 on my old HP, 3 of which I've never used and they still show as empty drives in Explorer!

I had an idea, since command prompt wasn't able to repair after a couple of attempts.

Earlier if ever had an error command prompt self repaired.....this time it's terminal covid.
Clean install is real Pain.....

Thanks again and best regards!
