Is there an actual program one can run to check the speed of the USB port Read and Write?

Sound is back and programs, such as VLC Media player and Quinessential Media Player are now working.

Checking the specs. for my HP 15-dy2132wm it appears it only has a 5Gb/s transfer speed for all 3 ports. The one on the right is a type C Super Speed and the 2 on the left are normal Super...

I was wondering more on the bottleneck at the USB Superspeed port USB 3.0 if that might negate any speed difference between the NvME and the USB Flash drive. I thought perhaps, a NvMe SSD or a...

Thanks for the answers. In short the USB drive (stick) even at 150 Mb/S is slower than the port and the NvME drive will do a better job of transferring files over from my laptop to a portable...

I have a NvME drive enclosure and a couple of non used NvME 256GB drives, but thinking of getting a 500GB drive for external backup of some folders.

I have gone into my registry and disabled the "PortableOperatingSystem" by giving it a value of 0 rather than 1.

Yesterday I had to take out my NvME SSD drive out of this computer, and when I...

To the contrary I have followed up as you and many others have suggested.
Here is the thing. This is a random event. I can boot down now, as I have the other days, with no issues, such as that...

I searched "reliability" in PC Settings and found entries.

Shutdown is sudden and abrupt. No message saying shutting down, just like a desktop if you were to press the on/off switch on the back of the power supply.
