All of my USB devices randomly disconnect and will sometimes reconnect on their own in 10-20 seconds. Other times when they do not reconnect I have to completely restart the PC to get devices back working. I have tried uninstalling drivers for the USB roothubs and devices with no luck of a fix. I have not seen this issue addressed elsewhere or corrected. Other instances have not been similar to mine and this issue was non existent before upgrading to Win11. I even did a repair install of Win11 with no luck either. Any help or fixes would be greatly appreciated.

Strangely this seems to have been fixed for now! I used my computer for a number of hours yesterday and this afternoon whilst having my USB thumb drive attached and I was able to copy and move files across without issue. No random disconnects at all.
If it's fixed I'm a happy bunny but it would have been nice if MS had made this fix public so we knew what had been causing it.
Of well, hopefully this will be the end of the matter 🤞
A thing I observed lately was that it usually happens when the pc is idle or I haven't touched the keyboard and mouse for a while. 20mins-ish. Whenever I would move the mouse it would happen. It still happens when using the pc too but not as often.
If anyone else has it happening in the same conditions, it could be a lead to go on, I guess, since there is none at the moment.
L.E.: After posting this, it started doing it quite often. I restarted my pc now. Idk why but today it went bazooka on me. At least 10 times since this morning. Never had more than 2-3 times one day every few days.
ChatGtp tell me is Dutch.
The screen is about "core insulation" and the function is "memory integrity", all of this is on "security device" section
I'm running an unsupported version of Windows 11 and have been doing so since it's official launch. As many of you know, Microsoft allowed customers to do that but the main caveat being that they can't guarantee system stability or offer any support. To date, Windows 11 runs extremely well on my AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (3.2GHz Six-Core Processor) with 16.0 GB RAM, no system instability or crashes of any kind. the only thing I can say however, is that the above 'Core Insulation' screen is absent on my computer, perhaps one of the limitations of my system or it's completely unrelated to this issue?

I've Windows in Italian, but I think the traduction of the functions is correct. Also the icons are identical.
I hope I was helpfull.
Anyway, I think for me is an hardware problem, becouse I installed Ubuntu in other disk, and I've same usb freeze problem.
In windows I tried to this "memory integrity" off, without positive feedback.
I noticed from the event log that I have issues related to WiFi and the network. In fact, after updating the WiFi card drivers, the problem has reduced. I tried removing it, but it still happens that sometimes the USB ports stop working. There must definitely be some hardware component causing trouble. I need to try with the graphics card, but I don't have another one to test with.
No more usb random disconnects. I have disabeled the hysterical protection hype , als other usb components are also working now . nomore nags about unknown devices etc. I hope this wil help
