This seems to be a problem with recent versions of Windows 10 and 11, I think it is the plug and play system maybe plus something to do with security.
Try unplugging and replugging the USB 3 (type A) connectors, and rescanning for Devices in the Device Manager.
That worked on my old Laptop Windows 10 with USB 3 (type A).
Exactly the same scenario with a new Windows 11 Laptop with USB 3 (type A and C) and Thunderbolt 4 (type C).
It's an ASUS SBW-06D5H-U USB Blu-Ray writer USB A/C connections. 10 Months ago no problem drive was recognised, but about 2 weeks ago tried the drive again it was not initially recognised until re-plugging in a couple times.
Been good on both Laptops now, presumably they have remembered something.
