USB flash drive not showing up

I've got an issue with a USB flash drive I just bought because I need to flash my BIOS. I'm using Windows 11, all of my other USB devices work just fine(headset, keyboard, mouse), but when I plug this flash drive in, it doesn't show up. I've checked Disk Management and it's not there. but when I check Device Manager, it shows up under disk drives, but then I've got two different unknown devices in my "other devices" section. Checking the details of these unknown devices shows

STORAGE\\VOLUME\\\_??\_USBSTOR#DISK&VEN\_\_USB&PROD\_\_SANDISK\_3.2GEN1&REV\_1.00#04017037D10D4D755465CA0B2CFF6B63947363930527279AEFE37DC194B0E51#{53F56307-B6BF-11D0-94F2-00A0C91EFB8B}

under one and

**STORAGE\\VOLUME\\{C5C55B0F-69E0-11EE-8F88-806E6F6E6963}#000001D196F00000**

under the other one. These go away when I take the flash drive out. I can't update the drivers for any of these. Flash drive works fine on my brother's PC.
