Whenever you plug in a USB device, a memory card reader, a monitor, an external hard drive, etc., or any other hardware device into your computer, Windows will scan the device's information and information. will be stored in the system's Registry area, for two main reasons.

+ Windows will keep a record of the devices that were previously connected to the computer for easy connection the next time, can accelerate the identification process by downloading the driver automatically. If a record from a previous device is stored in the Registry, Windows will skip searching for drivers and only use the available drivers already saved for the device. Whenever you use the same external device attached to a system. This means that the device information is already in the system registry and Windows has used that information to download the necessary drivers for the device and memory.

+ The drawback here is that the Registry will have too much information about the equipment that you rarely use or at one point after you have used that device on the system. This amount of information is completely unnecessary and it slows down the time it takes to boot up your system and also affects performance. Every time you boot up, the Windows Registry will scan the list of devices and try to connect to it, even though the device is not attached, but the process will still take place.
