The Silence Map

Asked on Super User by Andrew, 9 months ago. No reply there for at least a week.

Why does my USB flash drive only work on USB 2.0 ports and is not detected on USB 3.0/3.2 ports after Windows install?

Device Information: Device: Kingston DataTraveler SE9 G3 Capacity: 128 GB Interface: USB 3.2 Motherboard: GIGABYTE B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 The USB flash drive is not functioning correctly when connected to high-speed USB 3.0 (blue) or USB 3.2 (red) ports, but works normally on standard USB 2.0 (black) ports. All this happened after I used this flash-drive for Windows installation In the image, you can see connectors. Weird thing is it works on each c column connector (usb 2.0), it works at d above USB type-C (e) connector (this is 3.2 Gen 1 port), but other d's (also 3.2 Gen 1 ports) or f and h
