    My USB pen drive gets disconnected after a while


    There is a bug in Windows. If I keep any of my USB pen drives connected for a long time, like for an hour or two, it gets disconnected. I can't access it, until I take it out and re-plug it back in.

    :)

    Unspecified USB Pen Drive

    Hi,

    This can be caused by a driver issue or virus-infected USB drive. For further isolation of the issue and for us to provide a solution suitable to your pen drive concern, we need additional information. Can you answer the questions below?

    • When did this happen?
    • Were there any recent changes made to your device prior to the issue?
    • Does it appear in the disk management?
    • Can you connect other USB drives and see if the same error will occur?

    In the meantime, try updating the USB driver as an initial troubleshooting step and see if the error will occur again when you connect your USB drive. Follow the steps below:

    • Open Device Manager.
    • Look for Universal Serial Bus controllers and click it to expand.
    • Select the driver then right-click on it and select Properties.
    • Under Driver tab, click the Update Driver
      button to update the driver.

    We're looking forward to your response.

    related to pen drive

    Hi,

    A Pen Drive or USB is a data storage device that includes flash memory with an Integrated USB interface, and is a Plug and play device. That said, your computer should easily recognize your Pen Drive without any issues. A software might be blocking it, or
    an update is needed for it to work properly. However, let us isolate your concern by providing the answers to these questions:

    • Is your Pen Drive working in other devices?
    • Were there any changes (Updates, software installation) made prior to the issues?
    • Have you tried using another Pen Drive on your computer?

    in the meantime, we suggest that you insert your Pen Drive, and check if there's any error(s) in Device Manager.

    We're looking forward to your response.

    Unspecified USB Pen Drive

    Sorry for the delayed response. If it's not appearing in the disk management, then it's possible that there is no driver for the USB pen drive. We suggest that you visit the device manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for the USB pen.

    Let us know if you need anything else. We're here to help.
