About this tag
Device lag on Windows can stem from problematic hardware like USB flash drives.

Troubleshooting steps include testing the drive on another PC, updating USB controllers, or returning the device if it's within the return window. For persistent device lag, checking Event Viewer for errors and testing with different USB ports can help isolate the cause.
