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.

    Let us all know how it goes fizzylu, the more feedback from other Windows 11 users the better.

    Fingers crossed for you 🤞

    I've just recently upgraded to a new PC that has Windows 11 (previous one had 10). Since getting it, I've had issues that made me think the USBs were just disconnecting and troubleshooted that.... problem still happened after doing all of the fixes. Today I finally started to question if it's not the PC, but Windows and that got me here. Trying what you suggested now and hoping it helps because I'm tired of having to hard reset this PC-- and I'm definitely going back to not using Microsoft Edge entirely.

    I read a report earlier this year which focused on browser security and if memory serves me correctly I think MS Edge scored around 98% whereas Chrome scored 97%. Sadly I can't find that report but I'm pretty sure it was done by the Which? magazine. Each browser was subjected to a number of known risky sites to see how the browser security responded, both were pretty much level pegging.

    Correction!

    Found said article, read it and make up your own mind. OK, so not which 'best browser' per say, but best and worst for phishing protection. Article starts part way down on this page:-

    Ha ha..! Thanks for doing that, it helps a lot. I think with my own experimenting it does sound like we might have a possible workaround - Disable Edge from Startup!

    Not wishing to count my chickens but this probably does need a little more input from the community before we can say it's an absolute but at least you and I both now have a verifiable workaround for now. Sounds like you might need to install a different browser after all, either that or see what happens with Edge set to launch manually when you need it.

    Hopefully others can add some feedback here for good measure.

    yea no problem! it was incredibly boring but worth it! Maybe chrome, opera, duckduckgo or mozilla would work. Ill test that out though!
