I just noticed weird thing. When i plug my flashdrive to frontpanel usb port and then try to unplug it pc freez(cant move cursor, keyboard not responding) Only reset helps or pluging in flashdrive. Weird thing is that when i unplug it its still "present" in "my computer."

I just installed windows 10 and its asus z170 pro gaming mobo.

i disconected front panel usb and mobo usb has same issue with flashdrive. Previously i was formating it after memtest.

I just connected my phone by usb and when i disconnected it it just dissappeared as it should be, only flashdrive icon stays when i unplug it. I can move mouse and stuff, but when i try open chrome or restard computer it takes ages. May flashdrive was damaged by this fragmentation?
 
you should always eject flash media before unplugging it. or you may indeed damage it.

shouldnt it be as flash drive? i think this causes problems. When i ry to format it it says its used by some other program and when i go to defragmentation screen there is third partition called //?//Volume(0000
