Reset Kobo to factory settings. And the options just kept going.

It turns out, just disabling my antivirus wasn’t enough. I had to instruct (disable) my antivirus programme from protecting my USB option.

that’s all it took for success.

Talk about anti-virus over-protective “mothering” +++ !!!

Just need to post this in the hope it will save others who find themselves in the same boat,
What AV are you using? To me, it sounds like you are best to dump it and use the one that comes with Windows 10. I use what comes with Windows 10 and it works no bother.
