  1. Windows 10 Pro 20H2: USB drives take minutes to mount


    Hi fellow users,

    I've noticed that when I connect thumb or external drives via USB, they take a long while (even few minutes) to mount. Moreover, Windows does not notice their removal instantly and Explorer allows to browse their content for a while (until it dismounts or I attempt to open any folder).

    I've checked that Windows has the buffering option turned off (allows quick removal as it did by default), so it's pretty strange it reacts so slowly. My old machine running Windows XP was doing it instantly 15 years ago.
    The problem doesn't necessarily have to do with the latest update, I've just spotted it recently.

    My machine: MSI GV62-7RC
    Win 10 Pro Build 19042.746

    What I did to solve the issue so far?

    When I open Device Manager, it does display older (>2 months or so) "Device not migrated" errors. Deleting the driver and allowing it to reinstall after restart didn't help.

    As far as I've researched the problem, some users suffered similar issues because of Bluetooth conflicts, however in my case updating them or turning Bluetooth off in my laptop does not change anything.

    Do you have any ideas?

    Windows 10 USB boot

    Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

    System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

    Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

    So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
    If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

    There is three options:
    Windows 10
    Windows 10 Home
    Windows 10 N

    Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

    System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

    Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
    That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks
