- Why do users see a Windows I/O error when attempting to read from an encrypted USB device?
Information:
This behavior is by design. If a user tries to access an encrypted USB device without the correct password, Windows returns an I/O error.
Windows returns this error when attempting to access media that cannot be read for any reason.
When the correct password is used, the device will be readable.
