Windows 10: it takes too long to copy file from usb to PC

I use the same USB that i used to install media creations to install windows 10 on this laptop, i have some backupped files in it, but when i try to copy it to the laptop itself, it takes a long time to copy because first it needs to discover to prepare to copy which takes a long time because it starts fast but eventually it slows down, then the actual process of copying is slow because at first it starts at like 20mb/s but eventually it goes down to the kilobyte area, how to fix?

Java.nio.file - Copying files

You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one

Hello Jay,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Please provide some additional information, so that we can assist you better.

1. Are you unable to copy or move files from USB drive to laptop?
   
2. What is the complete error message you see on your computer incase if you’re trying to move files?
   
3. Were there any changes made on your computer prior to this issues?
   
4. What is the make and model number of USB and computer?
   
5. Is the USB drive detected in Windows PC?
   

However, if you’re referring to transferring files from USB to laptop, follow the steps as mentioned below.

1. Insert your USB device into your computer.
   
2. Open ‘Windows Explorer’ and select 'This PC'.
   
3. You should see your USB device represented as a drive letter (e.g.: D: or E: etc.)
   
4. Locate your USB device and double click it to
   view the contents.
   
5. If your photos are organized into folders already, and/or you can see the
   folders or files you want, proceed to the next step. If your photos are not organized or the photos are visible, you will need to browse the folders until you find them.
   
6. Once you can see your
   files, photos or folders select everything by clicking on the 'Home' tab in Windows Explorer and selecting the 'Select All'
   option.
   
7. With everything you want to import selected all the files, then click the 'Home' tab in Windows Explorer and select either
   'Move to' or 'Copy’.
   
8. Select a destination folder in the list or select the
   'Choose location' option at the bottom and navigate to where you want to move or copy the images to.
   
9. Wait for the move or copy process to finish.
