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.

    my issue might be related to Intel chip:

    Your computer was identified as having an Intel Core 13th or 14th generation processor. To learn more about recent instability issues identified by Intel, read this article.

    I will download the new BIOS to see if it can fix the USB not working & youtube video keeps spinning circle issues.

    update: updating BIOS to incorporte Intel 13th/14th gen processor issue patch seems have fixed USB issue.

    showing ethernet sign, not wifi sign. Ethenet works fine.

    right after I typed my last message, USB stopped working, unplug them and replug to other USB ports, windows said USB malfunctioning, this is totally unacceptable for a $1400 new Dell PC, this PC is going back to Dell. this issue plus Youtube video spinning circle. I did my research with google/ChatGPT for 2 days to no avail and giving up.

    I recenlty bought a new Dell PC with windows 11. it has all sorts of issues, youtube video keeps spinning and USB connections suddenly stop working. it is 100% windows 11 issue,not Dell hardware issue. windows 11 is just a premature product and not ready to be in the market. I paid $1400 for this dell PC with windows 11. my refurbished dell for $300 with windows 10 didn't have any issues at all for seveal years untill it can't reboot.

    also can be wifi issues?

    I plugged in an enthernet cord directly and don't use WIFI. damn, my youtube backgroud video is spinning circle again now, this thing and USB stopping working drive me nuts the past 2 days since I bougth this new PC for $1400.
