New and the Old
You MUST to know, with the rapid development of the technology. Little and little people use the FLOPPY DISK to store something.
But, when I try to insert a floppy disk to my computer(Windows 11), it's TOOOOOOOO SLOW to read!
First, I inserted, it knew that this is a floppy disk. But it is hard to read in EXPLORER! 2 minutes later, it's still reading!
I even used the latest version of Windows 11! (26200.8655)
"OMG! I can finally read it!" I said. The disk only had a file with less of 100 bytes!
I tried to insert it to my notebook (Used Windows 10)
It even can read it for less 1 seconds!!! And it is so fast to write something in drive A:
I even tried to insert it to a MS-DOS system(Virtual Machine) as drive B;
It is also Readable! Faster than Windows 11!
So, if Microsoft can solve this problem, like push update or improve driver/system, that is a fantastic thing!

Updating your chipset and USB drivers from the motherboard or USB drive manufacturer.
Hi, floppy disks are always going to feel painfully slow on a modern Windows 11 PC. They are old, mechanical, and tiny, and modern antivirus or indexing checks can make access feel even slower. If you need the files, I would copy the disk contents once to a folder or USB drive, then work from that copy instead of using the floppy as active storage.
