Errors in the FAT file system on Windows 10 can be caused by defective hardware or its drivers and the removal of all devices (which could be removed) and reconnection one after the other to identify the problem hardware (if any).

  1. Turn off the system.
  2. Delete all USB ports, SD card slots and external hard drives.
  3. Remove the mouse and keyboard and reconnect them if they are needed to communicate with the PC.
  4. Leave only one RAM in the system and delete all the others if there is more than one.
  5. If there is more than one storage disk in the system, whether they are SSDs or hard disks, remove them all (simply disconnect them) except the one where the operating system is located.
  6. Remove the video card except for the built-in card.
  7. Now restart the computer to check if it still has the FAT File System Error on Windows 10 and if the system is free, turn off the system.
  8. Add one of the remote devices and turn on the system, check if the error is displayed. Repeat these steps until you find the defective device.

CHKDSK [volume[[path]filename]] [/F] [/V] [/R] [/X] [/I] [/C] [/L[:size]]

Updating the Windows driver

Update-Drivers

In many cases, FAT_FILE_SYSTEM is caused by defective or incompatible drivers, and we can repair it by installing the latest drivers. A driver is software that allows the computer to contact hardware devices. If the drivers are damaged or obsolete, the equipment may not work properly, causing various problems. In general, Windows 10 automatically downloads and updates drivers during the installation of system updates. If the system does not update the drivers, you can install them manually.

Step 1: Right-click on “This PC” and select “Manage” to open Computer Management. Then, you can click on “Device Manager” in the left pane.

Step 2: On the right side of the Device Manager, locate and expand the device for which you want to update the drivers. Right-click on the drive and select Update Driver.

Step 3: In the window that appears, select “Automatically check for driver software update”. If Windows does not find a new driver, you can try contacting the device manufacturer to get the latest driver.

Step 4: If step 3 does not work, right-click on the device and select Uninstall. Then restart your computer and Windows will automatically reinstall the driver.
