File Explorer green bar issue - but only on one USB stick

My File Explorer is normally fine, with no issues I can see. But when I plug in a USB stick that I've been using to play music from in my car (in order to add some more albums), I get the slow green bar and it freezes at the end, so I can't display what's on it. Or do anything else with it.

My other USB sticks all work fine, so it seems it's just this one stick which I guess is somehow corrupted? But it works fine in my car... Is there anything I can do to correct whatever has happened here? I'm loathe to re-format it and start again as there's so much music on it - plus, unless I know what causes it, it could just put me back to the same issue

Thanks.
USB stick that's causing the issue has a blue tab, so it's USB 3 - and so are the others that work fine.
