What is your PC model number and OS? Always include that on any initial problem post. Can be critical to getting a problem resolved.
However, a general suggestion. Display the Device Manager and specifically the USB section. If there is an unknown device listed in the USB section, uninstall it in the Device Manager. Then restart the PC and check the Device Manager to see if it is gone. If it is, this MAY resolve your problem.

Generally, many reasons are responsible for usb device not recognized, some of them include:
1.Have connected USB drive via bad USB port.
2.USB flash drive has a corrupted registry entry.
3.There are damaged files or bad sectors on the stick.
4.Samsung USB drive is not been formatted correctly.
Corresponding solutions:
1.connect your usb to another device, or another good usb port
2.remove the corrupted registry entry:
（1）Run regedit.exe to lift Registry Editor,
（2）Navigate to the key below and delete it only. Restart your computer and re-plug the Samsung USB and try again.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentContolSet\Enum\USB\VID_0781&PID_7101 and/or VID_0000
3.Check disk error on Samsung USB drive:
Open Windows File Explorer and right click your Samsung USB drive. Head to Properties > Tools > Check > Start.
