Hello, avoid using USB extension cables or USB hubs, longer cables can cause power inconsistencies. Also check if you have the latest USB drives installed for your PC.

its definitely a problem with your setup. It works fine on my laptop’s usb 2 ports. 

re-check the laptop usb port, reinstall usb drivers, change cable. that’s all you can do
