    APFS for Windows will not mount my "Passport for MAC" USB drive used for Time Machine

    Hi,

    I'm very new to this software and have just installed a 10 days trial to try and read a USB drive used to backup my Mac Book Pro M1's Time Machine backup.

    APFS identifies my disk as APFS, GPT, and Not encrypted. However when I try to mount it nothing happens, not mounted and no error message.

    I am running Windows 10 Pro 19043.1348

    The Log includes:

    [1637515957][0x1084] FDISK: DiskId : {36a63e05-daff-4cba-8ca0-a8b8db8200fc}

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello and welcome to the forums!
    Time Machine backup drives aren't supported by APFS for Windows.
