Please try these steps.

• Please try to connect the USB flash drive to multiple devices to check if the issue is the same in all the devices.
• Then please insert the drive in one of the USB ports of the computer.
• Please right-click on the drive. (don’t open it by left-clicking) then select properties>tools>click on check(for errors) fix it if found.
• Also please run a defrag on the drive.
