The HP laptop no longer reads USB sticks

[Stacito]

Hello, for about a month my laptop can no longer read the USB sticks after an automatic update, it tells me that they are encrypted, when this is not the case. Inserting the key on another PC works without problems. I tried a resolution by reinstalling all drives, but there was nothing to do. With the help of a friend I discovered that a string has been deleted to remove the protection of the USB sticks. On his laptop, which is the same as my ce, but not mine. We can not even restore it, every attempt fails, the message of the problem (You do not have authorization to complete this operation).
The laptop is still with the original OS (WIN 10 x64 Home).
Do you know how I can solve this problem? I don't want to reset everything.
