Hello, my name is Anis. I'll be glad to help you today.

Please reset the USB root hub driver and check.

Go to Device Manager. (Press Windows+X together, select Device Manager)

Double click on "Universal Serial Bus Controller" to expand it.

Right click on the USB Root Hub drivers and select Uninstall.

Restart the PC. (The drivers will reinstall automatically upon restart)

Additionally, please test the flash drive on a different PC or device to confirm if this is happening with this particular PC only or not.
