All standard USB external HDD's should be P-n-P devices. You don't have to add, it will turn up automatically. Please try other USB port.
Regards.

@Shawn87 -- does it work when connected to a different computer that is running MacOS or Windows 10?
When connected to your computer, use right-mouse-button-click on "My Computer" (or whatever they call it in Wnidows 11), and choose "Manage" to open the "Management" window. Click on "Storage"., then click on "Disk Management".
Does the external disk-drive get listed?
