Intel USB 3.0 Monitor, This Device can Perform Better?

[feetand nches]

Why do I keep getting this Pop-up in Notification Area? Does my Monitor need better Drivers?

I meant to make the Title "This Device can Perform Faster" but did not see a way to change it.

Do you have your external monitor connected by a USB cable. According to specifications found on the web your Toshiba laptop should have a VGA monitor connection. Using the VGA connection should stop that notification. You may have to buy the correct cable if you don't already have one.

Sorry, this is on my desktop:
Dell Inspiron 660s, Intel Core i3-3240 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 4GB RAM, Windows 7 PRO

There are 2 things you can do, the first is to click on the little arrow next "Intel USB 3.0 Monitor" on the screen shot you supplied & select Hide Icon & Notifications.

The second thing you can do is locate the correct USB 3.0 drivers from the Dell website that suit your computer & download & install them.

If you are using the USB ports on the front of the computer, they may not be USB 3.0, so try one of the rear USB 3.0 ports. The USB 3.0 ports have a blue plastic insert, whereas the USB 2.0 are generally white.

Ranger4, I will give this a go! I was thinking it was a USB Storage Device, but then seen the thing about the Monitor. Now seeing the same popup about the USB Storage Device also, as I first thought.

I'm quite sure the USB Ports on front are also 3.0, but I'll double check.

It may take me a while, my health is not good atm.

Okay you were right here, they are both 2.0 in front. Why they do this I have no idea, I thought I remembered they were both 3.0, but that must have been another computer. Also, why they can't label them all with the Blue Chip when they are 3.0 is beyond me? I have a few pc's that claim to be 3.0 and have the Tiny "SS" for the Port, but no Blue Chip?

Do you have the manual for your Dell Inspiron 660s ?

What for Jack, I just confirmed the fronts are 2.0. Here it is regardless.

USB 3.0 Ports are colored Blue by standards, 2.0 is Black.

 

[feetand nches]

Not always, some just use the SS designation. I see this in Laptops all the time, but it may be different with desktops, they may always be Blue? I hate the SS designation because it is too small for me to see.

 

[RoasterMen]

If they are named SS and colored black, it means it is still USB 3.0.

I don't need the manual; you do. It should explain which ports are which.

Jack, this was answered here, the post right above where you asked this: "Do you have the manual for your Dell Inspiron 660s ?

Jack"

So far, to me at least, it seems as though the Laptops are the ones that Black Chip with the "SS" Designation some of the time. But Desktops seem to adhere to the Blue Chip "Suggestion" all the time that I can see. I'll have to pay more attention to this in the future to see if I'm correct or not.

I just got a USB Extender, and connected it to the Blue USB Port, but am still getting this warning that "This Device could be Faster" does it matter what type of USB Extender I use, I thought they were all the same? Barrrgggg!
