Hi,

I have noticed a bug in windows 10 home.
Copying any file from/to a pen drive connected to my windows 10 PC is very slow. Transfer speed is 5mbps maximum.
Same file is transferring at normal speed(20-25mbps) when I transfer it within local drives(i.e. D drive to E drive) Hence I can say, transfer is slow in case of PC and Pen drive ONLY.

P.S:
1) Same pen drive is working perfectly in another PC having windows 8.1 running.
2) Drivers are up to date.
3) I upgraded(not done clean install) from Windows 10 insider preview to Windows 10 home.

My suggestion would be:

Uninstall any Anti-virus just to see if it is being over zealous and scanning stuff on your USB drive as you are trying to copy.

I donot have any antivirus installed on my PC other than Windows Defender.

You say that you have updated the drivers, have you checked that you have the chipset drivers installed?
What is your hardware?
