Windows - all of a sudden "you do not have permission to access this device"

Has been fine in past.  Express won't connect, shows as fenix 6 in windows explorer but says you do not have permission in a pop up when I click it.  Restarted pc, watch, tried different cables....all same. WTF?

    I’ve had this in the several month ago. 

    It looks like the watch was working fine but wasn’t able to registratie a run, walk or anything. Soft reset didn’t solve, hard reset did solved my problem. Was with beta firmware 10 (not sure which version).

    I had this after upgrading to latest windows version last week. Reverted the update and now it works again. I think it has to do with broken drivers. I also have broken video drivers in the latest windows version. Not sure how to handle this...

    I had an issue where i was unable to access any of my usb drives, including phones. The fix for me was to check in Group Policy if ''All Removable Storage Access: Deny All Access'' is enabled.

    If you already use or can create an "Administrator" user account you may follow this: To access Group Policy console open "Run" (Win+R), type in gpedit.msc and hit "Enter". Then go to "Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Removable Storage Access" looking for All Removable Storage Access: Deny All Access and check its status. Default setting is "Not Configured" which covers common use.

    Mine was "Not Configured", which is correct...however i thought why not changing it to "Disabled" to force it into a configuration where it could NOT deny access. It did not fix the issue. Then I changed it back to "Not Configured" and suddenly i can access all my drives again. No idea how my system glitched out with this issue, but i hope this works for you too!

    Also, do the same for ''User Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Removable Storage Access" settings.
