I have that problem when I plug a USB drive into the same USB extension that I plug my keyboard and mouse into. It goes away when I use a different USB channel for the stick. It seems odd to me because the keyboard and mouse can't represent much bandwidth compared to the USB stick, and also because it is the same even when not using the USB stick at the time - I can even have it 'ejected' but still plugged in and the problem will persist. Very mysterious.
On some motherboards, a USB channel shares a lane with what you might use for a NVME M.2 drive. You might check that.
