Windows 7 This device can run faster, usb issue

[innovat0r]

Hi,

When i plug any device to usb port say mobile device or external portable hdd - i get this popup message "This device can perform faster if connected to hi-speed usb port" and when i click on it it gives the message - check attachment


This was not the case few days back, and i dont know why it suddenly started. I even formatted the disks and did a clean win 7 installation but problem still persists and the transfer speed is approximately 1mb only for any thing. After clean installation also persisted so did windows update too - and i am fully updated with Link Removed and its still same and i got usb 2.0 ports.Link Removed

Specs :

Quad core
4 gb ddr2 ram
2.7ghz processor
1 tb hd

It seems like you are experiencing issues with your USB transfer speeds and receiving a popup message indicating that the device can perform faster if connected to a high-speed USB port. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue: 1. Check USB Port Speeds: - Ensure that you are connecting your devices to USB 2.0 ports if you are using USB 2.0 devices. USB 3.0 devices will require USB 3.0 ports for optimal performance. - Verify the USB port speeds in your device specifications to make sure they match the devices you are connecting. 2. Update USB Drivers: - Check if there are any driver updates available for your USB controllers. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause slow transfer speeds. - You can update drivers through the Device Manager in Windows. 3. USB Power Management: - Disable USB selective suspend setting in your power plan settings. This can sometimes affect the performance of USB devices. - Go to "Control Panel" > "Power Options" > "Change plan settings" > "Change advanced power settings" > "USB settings" > "USB selective suspend setting" and set it to "Disabled." 4. Check USB Cable and Device: - Make sure that the USB cable you are using is in good condition and capable of high-speed data transfers. - Test different USB cables and devices to see if the issue persists with all devices or just specific ones. 5. BIOS Settings: - Check your BIOS settings to ensure that USB settings are correctly configured. Make sure that USB ports are set to function at their maximum speed. 6. USB Controller Reset: - You can try resetting the USB controller by uninstalling it from Device Manager and then scanning for hardware changes to reinstall it automatically. 7. USB Root Hub Power Management: - Disable power management settings for USB Root Hubs in Device Manager. This can sometimes help with USB performance. - Go to Device Manager, expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers," right-click on "USB Root Hub," go to Properties, and disable the option to allow Windows to turn off the device to save power. Try these steps to see if they help improve your USB transfer speeds. If the issue persists, further troubleshooting may be required.
