How to fix error error-fs-driver-required in Windows 11

Solution Steps

1. 1 First, identify the drive that's causing the error. Open File Explorer (Win+E) and see if any drives show as 'RAW' or 'Unrecognized'. If so, note the drive letter. Right-click the Start button and select 'Disk Management'. Look for the drive with a file system of 'RAW' or no file system. This indicates the driver isn't loading.
2. 2 Open Device Manager (Win+X → Device Manager). Expand 'Disk drives' and 'Storage controllers'. Look for any device with a yellow exclamation mark. Right-click it and select 'Update driver'. Choose 'Search automatically for drivers'. This might install the correct driver.
3. 3 If the drive is a USB drive, try plugging it into a different USB port. Sometimes the port is the issue. Also, try a different computer to see if the drive works there. If it does, the problem is with your system's USB drivers.
4. 4 Run the System File Checker and DISM. Open Command Prompt as administrator and run 'DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth' then 'sfc /scannow'. This repairs system files that might include the file system driver.
5. 5 If the drive uses a non-Windows file system (like ext4), you'll need to install a third-party driver like 'Ext2Fsd' or use a tool like 'Linux Reader' to access the files. Download and install the appropriate driver from a trusted source.
