When you say dial down the USB speed do you mean the settings in Sharp Cap camera controller?

I meant the USB speed setting in the camera settings. I don't use Sharpcap, i prefer SGP as it controls all functions. You need ASCOM Platform loaded to use SGP, and the camera ASCOM driver.
Your problem is consistent with USB3 speed limitations. If you contact Sam at ZWO he can Teamview into your laptop to check the setup. Somethings the USB3 controller firmware needs to be updated, with Microsoft USB3 controller being a weak link. Anyway if your question is on the ZWO forum you should get info from Sam eventually.
