    Can Windows forget an USB device without user input?


    I've been using Windows 10 in the pas t few years now. I have a USB steering wheel and a joystick for gaming, but I just noticed a strage thing with them.I have been using these USB devices for years now, but in the past few months I had a period where they weren't plugged in for like 4-6 months or even more. A few days ago when I connected these devices, the "new device" pop up appeared in the bottom right corner, then a message about the successful setup. They were connected to the same USB as before. It happened to both devices, Windows managed them like they were never connected before

    :)
