When we upgrade the Windows10 system, we sometimes find that there is a disk in the computer that actually shows a blue question mark. When double-clicking to open it, it prompts:”Inedible and so on”, so what is going on? How should we do it?
Or there are times when we find that the desktop icons and folders suddenly have blue question marks, what’s going on? Next, I will introduce to you detailed methods to solve these two problems.
Why Does A Blue Question Mark Appear On the Computer Disk?
Reason One
The main storage device for storing information in a computer is the hard disk, but the hard disk cannot be used directly. The hard disk must be divided. The divided hard disk area is the disk partition. In traditional disk management, a hard disk is divided into two types of partitions: primary partition and extended partition.
The primary partition is a partition where the operating system can be installed and the computer can be started. Such a partition can be formatted directly, and then the system can be installed to store files directly.
In fact, the disk itself is still a disk, which is just logically divided into several disks, not really separated.. At this time, only one disk has a question mark. First of all, you can be sure that there is no problem with the computer disk.
Reason Two
The disk shows a question mark, and the blue question mark indicates that the system has a problem. It is thought that the computer disk was normal before the system update, but after the update, a blue question mark appeared, indicating that the computer was updated with the system version.

Why Does A Blue Question Mark Appear on the Desktop Icon?
Microsoft users who use SVN software may cause a blue question mark on the desktop icon.
Or some folders that are hidden may encounter such problems.
What Is SVN?
The full name of SVN is Subversion, which is a version control system. It is the most popular open source version control system. As an open source version control system, Subversion manages data that changes over time. These data are placed in a central repository (Repository). This archive is much like an ordinary file server, but it will remember every file change.
In this way, you can restore the file to the old version, or browse the change history of the file.
Subversion is a general-purpose system that can be used to manage any type of files, including program source code. SVN adopts a client/server system. Various versions of the project are stored on the server. The program developer will first obtain a copy of the latest version of the project from the server and copy it to the machine. Then, on this basis, every A developer can carry out independent development work on his own client, and can submit new code to the server at any time.
Of course, you can also obtain the latest code on the server through an update operation, so as to maintain consistency with the version used by other developers. There are two types of SVN clients, one is Web-based WebSVN, and the other is client software represented by Tortoise SVN.
The former requires the support of a Web server, the latter requires users to install the client locally, and both have free open source software for use. SVN also stores version data in two ways: BDB (a transaction-safe table type) and FSFS (a storage system that does not require a database).
Because the BDB method may lock data when the server is interrupted, the FSFS method is safer.
