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.

    Today, March 25th 2024, I had the same problem after doing suggested changes. I noticed that it just happened with my old pen, 16Gb bought in 1019, mainly when I try transfer large quantity of data. I just bought a new one 120Gb that is working good.

    Please, take a look at this windows 11 problem and fix it.

    I see the same thing on Windows 11. It doesn't matter if I am using a USB 3.0 Powered HUB, USB 2.0 powered hub or the USB ports on the motherboard. This especially seems to happen if I am trying to copy large files from a USB device to my SATA drives, (SSD's). Sometimes it will reconnect on it's own and sometimes all USB device are non-responsive. When it happens if I try to plug in a USB flash drive - nothing it doesn't even acknowledge that I plugged it in. Once I do a complete shutdown the USB ports are responsive again. No I did not have this problem with Windows 10. All hardware and software with the exception of Windows 11 is EXACTLY the same. This doesn't impact my USB keyboard and wireless USB mouse for some reason, but they are plugged into a KVM, but nothing else works.

    Please stop wasting our time with busy work and escalate this to development as this is CLEARLY a Windows 11 issue. All my drivers and updates are current.

    Thank You

    Gordon
