Windows 10: USB device not recognised

I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Flex5 with windows 11. A notification saying "USB device not recognized" is popping up continuously. And the key is I never once connected any USB device since I bought this laptop. I tried to uninstall the device from 'Device Manager' but the name appearing and disappearing constantly which is not giving me a chance to anything. I tried everything and it is still not working.

usb ports not recognising devices

Hi, for some reason all my usb ports have stopped recognising devices. The USB ports will still provide power, ie, I can charge my iphone but they wont recognise anything else. mouse, keyboard, docking station etc.

I have tried.

1. updating drivers
   
2. unisnatlling and reinstalling drivers
   
3. adjusting power settings
   

Nothing seems to work, any suggestions would be very welcome.

Cheers

Rob

USB Devices not recognised.

I have two devices that regularly are not properly recognized by Windows 10 one is a Garmin GPS and the other is a DJI Phantom Drone. In the case of the Garmin the USB Drives are recognised by Windows (Confirmed using USBDEVIEW) but the software does
not recognise the device and continues to search for it.

In the DJI case it seems to recognise the device but the software cannot access the Drone information i.e. Version Numbers etc. It also often reports errors on the SD Card inserted into the Drone but no errors are reported if the SD Card is inserted into
a card reader.

Any suggestions that I can try would be appreciated.
