Windows 10: USB device only pops up and works about 1/3 of the time?

For some strange reason, when I use my USB 3- USB 2 cable, about 1/3 of the times it pops up letting me know it's connected, and WORKS.



For the other 2/3 of the time, it NEVER pops up and doesn't work..


Was wondering why, especially consideirng earlier it was working, and since then it's stopped.

USB devices not working


Since my PC was updated to Windows 10 I have been having trouble with USB devices not working. It appears the drivers do not load or do not work. Example is my Saitek rudder pedals. They appear to be fully installed and appear in the device list but they do not work. I go into the device manager and update the driver to the exact same driver and it works.
I plug in my iPhone and it is recognized as an iPhone but appears in the Other Devices with a yellow exclamation. A check and it says there are no drivers. Manually find the drivers and update them and it is good until I pull it out. Next time I plug it in same thing.
Phantom 3 pro wont show the disk drive and have to load in a generic disk drive driver and all good. This list goes on.

I have found no suggestion on the net that help me so far.

Anyone else had this issue and have they solved it?

Thanks.
