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.

    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.

    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.
