    My new iPad Mini 6 up to date won't sync to iTunes through the provided USB-C but it will charge...usually.The cable charges fine through an outlet and provided charge "block", so I wanted to check my USB-C for faults.Is there a way to have Windows 11 22H2 run a hardware test on the USB-C port to see if it's got a data-transfer fault or something?It's labelled SS with the USB logo, so it should be capable of data transfer, no?

    USB 3.0 transfer speed drops to 0 only on one port. USB port and external drive are NOT defective.

    I have a Dell XPS 13 laptop with two USB 3.0 ports. I connect a Seagate expansion drive to the left USB port and transfer a 4GB test file. It transfers about 1GB at 150MB/s and then transfer speed drops to 0. Then it picks up again after 3-4minutes, then
    drops again intermittently.

    I connect the same Seagate drive to the right USB port. The same 4GB file transfers with a constant speed of approximately 150MB/s. Thus the Seagate drive is not defective. Perhaps the left USB port is defective.

    I connect a Sandisk 128GB flash drive to the left USB port (that is now suspected defective). It transfers the same 4GB file with constant 130MB/s speed, no speed drops!

    Each step is reproducible 10x.

    I am out of my wits here.

    Click next/OK as required to complete installation. Repeat the steps for all Intel USB devices. Finally click on each USB root device and press DEL to delete it, reply YES when asked. After deleting all USB root devices restart the computer.

    I hope this is detailed enough...

    USB 3 ports

    Hi David,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Regrets the inconvenience caused.

    If your USB does not work after you plug it in, it’s probably because of one of the following causes:

    • Windows can’t find a driver for the USB device.
    • Windows doesn't recognize the USB device.
    • There's a problem with the device
    • The driver for the device is faulty
    • The device isn't getting enough power
    • The USB port is defective
    Suggest you to check and install all latest and compatible windows 10 drivers from Manufacture's website for your device. Most probably it will fix the issue.

    You can check the driver status under General tab, in device Manager. If you suspect that a driver is faulty, contact the manufacturer.

    Hope this will address your query.
