If you have a modern computer, that shouldn’t happen. It’s probably because you have a low-spec computer, and all the stuff trying to see what’s on the drive all rush up to it, and since the USB is broken it doesn’t reply correctly, and everything is just waiting, not freeing up those necessary CPU cycles
