Q: USB formatted on windows computer and then loaded with files from IOS El Capitan does not work correctly on Windows computer
I have been trying to format a usb drive on my home iMac for use on a Windows computer. I tried formatting it on the iMac using El Capitan and formatting it on the Windows computer but with the same issue. The files are corrupted and don't work properly on the Windows computer at work. The files are a combination of audio and writing files. Is there a way to overcome this issue. When I used previous versions of IOS there weren't any use problems.

What file system format are you trying?
ExFAT is likely the best choice for using on both Mac and Windows.
You should also use a Master Boot Record (MBR) partitioning table.
