    Connecting USB Drive Causes Cursor to Freeze


    When I connect a USB drive to my computer the cursor freezes for a couple seconds. I have a wired USB mouse and no malware on the machine. Anyone know what would cause this?

    Does it say that it is installing drivers during these 2 seconds.
