    i have a similar problem with windows 11 only.
    my problem is installing files. when i clean install and am ready to install all my apps and games. it just hangs and i have to force shut off by keeping pressed power button
    no such thing happens on windows 10.

    for usb i have not seen such problem. i have copied complete ISO and games from 1-6 GB size files.

    Seems something wrong .. is the problem occurs on all USB drives? what is the size of the file are you trying to copy?

    I have 4 USB drives and everything is fine;

    - 64GB formatted NTFS
    - 64GB formatted FAT32
    - 32GB formatted FAT32
    - 32GB formatted ex-FAT
