Windows 10: USB devices disconnecting / reconnecting at random intervals for several seconds or longer,...

Hello,


I've been experiencing an issue for the last couple months where an arbitrary set of USB devices disconnect from my PC simultaneously and seemingly at random, for a time duration of several seconds and sometimes forever. This happened before and after updating Windows 10 from 17xx to 1909, and has persisted even after wiping my PC and updating my motherboard firmware. The only thing that has stayed constant between before and after has been the hardware that I'm using a mouse, keyboard, headphone and webcam which are all connected via USB 2/3. I'm speculating that it's an issue with my peripherals, though I have no way to confirm this consistently seeing how this issue occurs at random. I'm wondering if there is a way to check what is causing this issue.


Thanks in advance

:)

 

Random USB Disconnects-reconnects for unknown device.

Hi all, I have a clean install windows 10 home with the specs listed in my profile.

Im getting continuous disconnect USB sounds, often multiple times in a row, and the occasional reconnect sound.

Ive used a program call USBDeview, and can confidently say it is the top tow devices that disconnect and reconnect. I'm unsure what they are and how to solve the problem.

It doesnt happen 24/7, but sometimes it will do it for 40 mins and sometimes 5 mins then stop etc etc, very random.

I dont have any External HDD plugged into drives J K L M, but they normally get assigned to .iso's or Portable HDD's.

 

USB devices disconnecting/reconnecting

I turned off Power Management but no luck. As for the Resources tab in Device Manager, it's not showing up for my network adapter. I tried reinstalling it and updating it but it's not showing up.

 

USB devices disconnecting/reconnecting

Hello everyone!

Lately I've been experiencing a problem with my network adapter (and other USB devices along with it) disconnecting and reconnecting. And before anyone asks yes, I've searched whole internet upside down for answers and tried every possible fix that I could find but nothing worked (and yes, that includes the whole power saving and hardware troubleshooting thing).

The problem started out as my USB network adapter from Realtek infrequently and randomly disconnecting and then reconnecting few seconds later. Some time later it would disconnect all USB devices along with it. I'm not really an expert in network adapter field but I thought it could be because of the adapter (considering it was already quite old) so I went and bought new adapter.

However, even with new adapter the problem remains the same but now it's not randomly disconnecting but rather when downloading big files (for example video games) or even when listening to music on Deezer and I press skip one too many times. For example, yesterday I was updating games on steam and it was downloading and then it just stopped, followed by disconnecting sound and network adapter, mouse and keyboard not working but reconnecting few seconds later (I should also mention when the hiccup happens Chrome seems to stop responding until my computer is connected to the internet again). I tested current adapter on another computer (that is in the same room as router) and it worked without any problems so at least I know it's not because of adapter. After I got new adapter I also did clean install but the problem is very much the same.

Does anyone know a way to fix this problem? It's getting really annoying that I can't download anything without my internet along with all other devices disconnecting (especially 'cause my schoolwork is really computer and internet based).

EDIT: I've also experienced more than once that after my network adapter disconnects and disconnects mouse and keyboard with it, it takes longer for them to reconnect and when they reconnect they don't stay reconnect much longer before disconnecting again, rendering every USB connected device useless.
EDIT 2: I also seem to have started experiencing this problem when I switched motherboard few months ago due to old one being fried by PSU (I replaced both PSU and motherboard) so could it be motherboard's fault?
FINAL EDIT: Finally went and looked over whole motherboard and it looks like I've got faulty motherboard. Thanks everyone who tried to help with problem!
