Sandisk 64gb cruzer blade not working in windows 10

I have a 64gb sandisk usb stick it works in my windows 7 but not in windows 10.
All I get when I insert the usb stick in windows 10 is the directory name is invalid
any ideas please

If your drive is identified in the Explorer view, you could try running chkdsk on that USB drive:

Depress the Windows key (hold) + X , then click Command Prompt (Admin).
At the Command Prompt, type the following, chkdsk /X (where X is the drive letter), then press ENTER

If your disk does not show in Explorer, does it show in Disk Management?

If so, you may be able to use the "clean" command in Diskpart:

Note: Using the clean command will erase all data stored on your USB drive

Hope this helps.

Read this If the USB drive in question is a SanDisk Extreme USB 3.0 SDCZ80-064G:

(Excerpted from the above article):
There are however several reports (Newegg, Amazon) of compatibility issues with this, the 64GB version (other versions are fine), so if you do go for the 64GB version, don't throw the receipt away in a hurry.
