I just set up a partition on my 2017 Macbook Pro with Touch Bar and USB-C. I've noticed that when I plug in my external hard drive, using a USB-C to USB adapter, that Windows doesn't recognize that anything is plugged in.
Is this an issue with Windows or Boot Camp, does anyone know of a fix?
MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)
This is a 2TB HFS disk, which W10 will not recognize. The ability to read HFS+/JHFS+ is no longer officially supported.

As far as I know, the drivers should be installed, I followed all of the steps within Boot Camp Assistant, and installed Windows and followed the steps after installation via Boot Camp. When I plug in my adapter, I hear the "tudul" noise, and I hear it again when connecting my external hard drive to the adapter; but nothing shows up as being recognized.
Sure, this is what I got pertaining to the external HD:
/dev/disk2 (external, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *2.0 TB disk2
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk2s1
2: Apple_HFS Boot Camp 2.0 TB disk2s2
Are Bootcamp drivers installed? After you plugin the adapter and the USB drive, does Windows recognize the adapter? Does a Windows reboot allow the USB drive to be visible?
What is the format of the external drive? If you switch to macOS, with the USB drive connected, can you post the output of
diskutil list
from Terminal?
Thanks, why does Windows have to be so difficult?! 😕 This is why if I could, I'd do all my course work (software development) exclusively in macOS.
This is not a Windows issue per se, but a driver supplied by Apple is no longer officially supported. You are in a along line of unhappy customers. 😉
