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.

    I've a Gigabyte motherboard on this pc and an ASUS on the other pc that has this issue. So I don't think that it's motherboard specific.

    I have a bit more information too, though:

    I just uninstalled the only 2 possible updates from the pc it asked for me to restart and I didn't, cause I was watching some twitch stream and out of a sudden, it started doing it 6-7 times one after another, I had time to start the diagnostic apps that I have [ProcMon and USBDeview] and I logged the operations and I was looking at the voltages on the USB Ports. So the USB power just disappeared for the period of the "off", I know it's logical but at least it didn't show that they were overcharged, so there is something turning them off. I have to check now the huge 21 million operations and filter out for the timeline that the disconnects happened, and see if there was a trigger operation or not. So, uh... I'll get back on that.

    There are still updates that have been made in 8th and 18th of June for me, that I can't uninstall [at least not with the default add/remove app from windows]. But what makes me ponder quite a bit is... that it's not a recent issue. There are posts that date back to 2020 if I remember correctly, which means that it might not be an update issue but something else.

    My following tests will be, to check the said operations when the disconnects happened, maybe I see a pattern and if that doesn't make any sense I will try a Linux LiveCD Distro for a day or two to check if that still happens.

    check the cable type.
    I mean, it needs to be a Data cable and not just a charging cable.

    After one day the problem returned, but justy for mouse.
    The keyboard works well.

    the problem isn't "windows updater" or temperature.

    I talked about this issue with my friend. He had Windows 11 and doesn't have issue. BUT he have laptop.

    Could this be a possible cause?

    EDIT:
    I found a Reddit post discussing this issue. Some people are talking about ASUS motherboards and Armoury Create (the software for managing motherboard RGB). I have an ASUS motherboard, and some time ago, I noticed changes regarding Armoury Create software updates. I had the same impression. So, I tried disabling the USB AURA LED CONTROLLER device... Fingers crossed"

    here the Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/yxaacw/all_of_my_usb_devices_keep_temporarily/
    EDIT2
     (after 4 hours)
    The mouse and keyboard have been working fine so far. As I mentioned above, I DISABLED the USB AURA CONTROLLER. When I tried to UNINSTALL it, initially the mouse froze, then Windows automatically reinstalled the AURA CONTROLLER and the mouse started working again. As soon as the mouse started working again, I DISABLED the AURA CONTROLLER (DID NOT UNINSTALL).

    I hope it's resolved. Maybe the Aura Controller drivers in Windows 11 crash with USB... I don’t know. In any case, the RGB in the case still works.

    Fingers crossed as always :)

    EDIT3: 2 days after....
    ****!!! again!!!.... -_- I hope this long post can be helpful to someone.

    I remembered that sometimes (not always) when I had the disconnecting USB, there was always an update waiting to be downloaded on Windows Update

    Today it is happening frequently.

    Even with the Type-C hub, the same problem occurs.

    Often, only the mouse disconnects, and when I give an input with the keyboard, the mouse starts working again.

    I noticed that today it doesn't even make the warning sound of the device disconnecting and reconnecting.

    It simply freezes while I'm working and then starts again.

    After a few times, the keyboard also froze but then started working again.

    It's hot here today. I think the temperature might also be a factor...

    I've also noticed that sometimes while I'm typing, the keyboard input freezes, and it repeatedly presses the key i was holding down during the freeze

    In any case, I tried disabling Windows Update for a few days. I'm restarting and crossing my fingers again.... and again... and again... -___-"
