> I strongly disagree with your assessment. First of all I don't know what kind of frankenstein Windows environment you are running to get those sorts of issues so lets put that aside.

I am happy to see you strongly disagree while making such a wild assumption even after I said it was factory pre-installed system.

I'm not using any "frankenstein Windows environment": this is factory installed and up-to-date Windows installation on a recent high end Windows laptop.

You are dismissing my experience in a worse way than you are saying your experiences are being dismissed. It's also not hard to find evidence of Windows messing up flash drives online too.

If all you can do is discuss in bad faith, there is no reason to discuss further.
