Reset your WiFi, switch off and if you have a test socket try using it for 48hrs speeds can increase because your exchange will see it's being tested also check what else is using WiFi smart boxes bulbs security cameras the list is endless nowadays. And test all cables just incase one is under performing.0

OP is asking about a USB stick connected locally into his device, not network performance.

If the network isn't running properly the upload download any load will not run right. When I used to upload, a cable that was faulty changed the time substantially. Switching it out cut the time by hours.0

Another thing is your drivers you can uninstall and reinstall the device and security real-time protection can stall it to so check that in settings. Good luck 🤞0
