Windows 10: USB 3.0 device with message "Device can perform faster when connected to USB 3.0"

I have a Realtek wireless adapter, which is labelled as a USB 3.0 device, connected to a USB 3.0 port but I'm getting the message: "Device can perform faster when connected to USB 3.0"


I have read multiple posts and tried many steps, including:

- Uninstalling/Updating the device driver

- Uninstalling/Updating the USB 3.0 controller

- Updating Windows 10

- Reviewing BIOS settings


One interesting thing comes from the usbview program. Notice that "Supported Protocols" is NO for 3.0:




Also, all the USB 3.0 ports circled in red don't appear to be connected:

Windows 10: Display a warning if I plug a USB 3.0 device into a USB 2.0 port

Please try these steps. Sometimes the problem is not as big as we think:

1. In Device Manager, check if Intel USB Host Controller 3.0 is enabled and updated.
   
2. Go to BIOS settings to see if USB 3.0 is enabled.
   
3. If you are still facing the same problem, try uninstalling all USB host controllers in Device Manager.
   

Note: Make sure you are not using any extender for USB.

Is there a way to disable the "This device can perform faster ..." message

I believe not.

You are probably using a USB 2 or 3 Flash drive on old USB 1 ports there fore the statement that this device can perform faster.

It just means that it will load the data of the drive at a slower transfer rate.

This is normal and i would not worry about it.
