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.

    This is excatly what I have experienced. No problems in windows 10, upgrading to win 11 indroduced this error. Then A reenstall of win 11 didnt fix the problem, however it became less frequent. One thing Ive noticed, is the longer the pc is on, the more frequent it becomes

    Thanks

    Try disabling Edge on startup and reboot. I know, it doesn't sound like it would be related but this fixed it for me, and I can't explain it. problem is, after a windows update, it was back on in startup, so I had to disable it again after that.

    I started Taskmanager and killed alle Edge and webview process. I was able to copy more than a GB of data. Excatly at the moment I opened Edge, my USB disk dropped out, and copying halted..

    I had the same issue on a new laptop with Windows 11. I disabled the USB power savings in the system power settings. While being green is good, there are some things you simply don't want to allow the system to power off, like your NIC or your mouse/keyboard. The fact that Microsoft thinks this is a good idea is still beyond my comprehension. Especially when you are in the MIDDLE OF A FILE COPY to a USB device and Windows 11 thinks it should randomly start resetting your USB bus or trying to power down the port.
