A bad USB cable could be the cause, but if by high-speed u mean that you only have USB 2.0 ports on your computer, its definitely not an issue.
what u need to do is to optimize your computer for best performance.

or use some available Tools http://www.virtualdj.com/plugins/index.html?category=other&search=optimizer

I don't think DJDads advise goes far enough, although it's in the right direction.
First sort your HDD out with a clean install of Windows from an image downloaded from Microsoft. Use just two partitions, one for Windows and the other for media data. Get any needed drivers from the manufacturer of your laptop.
Just use your laptop for DJ work.
For an online laptop rely solely on Microsoft to defend your system using their free antivirus and firewall software which are frugal with system resources. Keep well away from dodgy websites. Put your laptop in aeroplane mode if your not actively using the internet.
Do manual updates and disable the automatic update feature in the services. Turn it back on periodically to update your system. This controls Win10 which can be something of a loose cannon.
Anyway you get the idea..even a ten year old laptop can do video and karaoke if it is updated and configured well!
Note: Only twiddle knobs for a very good reason, be conservative with your system resources.
