I have both. Internal WD hdd and external WD Hdd
All USB devices Disconnect randomly on Windows 11.
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.

Thanks but I don't think that's related. I don't have it on my system. Most likely you have a Western Digital hard drive or a portable device?
