Windows 10: USB Microphone randomly not being detected

Hi, I have an weird issue where my USB microphone Audio-Technica AT2020USB+ doesn't get recognized by Windows; randomly. This issue started happening ever since I've upgraded to Windows 11 and I can't recall being a problem on Windows 10. Also, I think it may started happening when I've upgraded my PC components, but that should not be a problem as it was done parallel with installation of Windows 11.Only partial and not full solution for the problem is to unplug and plug in the USB connector from microphone and sometimes it gets recgonized right afterwards, or sometimes I need to do it 1-2

:)

Microphone not detected

I've run it, it says the problem was 'Generic audio driver'. But I don't actually feel any problems on playing audios. My problem was about external microphones not detected, this laptop wont detect any external microphones
plugged in, it will always use the internal microphone. I've done the troubleshoot (recording audio) and the troubleshoot said they can't detect the problem.
