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.

this happens to me to but only when i play video games. all of the sudden, all the lights on my usbs will cut out and theyll stop working. then my game will crash. ive tried everything, updating drivers, disabeling the low power disconnect on them, ive restarted, ive done multiple hardware/software scans of the computer, and still nothing will fix it. someone please help.
interesting, on my workstation. i just use edge cause i dont want to install browsers etc.
recently the last week this has started happening to me. yes i am using edge, but not always using edge when it happens.
i just get a BLEEP and its either my usb wired keyboard or wired mouse or headphones wifi usb disconnect then 2-4 seconds later beep and its back.
the keyboard wont work after this. even though the lights are on. the keyboard is unresponsive until in unplug/replug.
the mouse comes back if it dc's. but its random. sometimes once an hour sometimes more.
its starting to really annoy the hell out of me, i might just go back to linux if this continues.
It's 2025, and the same issue persists :\ My front USBs worked, but external drive had 40 mb write and reading speed instead of 100+. I decided to plug it in the USB on the back of my PC. And it was disconnecting and reconnecting like crazy.
After I killed the Edge processes in Task Managers, everything worked smoothly, and the read/writing speed was ~115 mb/s on the back USBs. The front USB is still slow.
