If so, here is a little trick that I use in order to make my flash drive be usable a lot faster…

If you usually place all your files on the root of the drive, this will help a lot!
Instead of going with the usual of dropping your files on the root of your flash drive, simply create folders and place your files inside of them.

Windows was programmed to search the root of your drive so that when the Autoplay menu


shows up it gives you the option of opening your files with a related program. Although this is an awesome feature, it can sometimes be very slugish. Thus, I found out that by placing your files in a folder instead of dropping them on the root of the drive, speeds up the process. So that’s it, just make folders and see the difference!
