Windows 10: USB Ports keep shutting down

Hello, I've been having this issue recently where I will be playing a vr game and out of the blue my pc will just disconnect all of my usb ports, making me have to stop playing vr and wait 15 seconds to 2 minutes for my keyboard and mouse to register again. I have done everything in terms of troubleshooting,

I've disabled all the USB power saving options,

uninstalled and reinstalled my USB drivers,

updated a lot of other cpu and chipset drivers,

updated windows fully,


and restarted my computer at least 50 times.


At this point I'm completely lost, and this is preventing me from playing vr so I would really love to get it fixed.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

USB ports

Hi Frank,

Inserting and removing a USB device repeatedly may cause the USB port to stop responding. When the port is in this state, it no longer recognizes any USB device, and the USB device will not work.

Here are few things that you can do to resolve the issue:

Use Device Manager to scan for hardware changes. After your computer scans for hardware changes, it might recognize the USB device that is connected to the USB port so that you can use the device.

To scan for hardware changes, follow these steps:

• Click Start, and then click Run.
  
  Note If you are running Windows Vista, click Start, and then use the Start Search box.
• Type devmgmt.msc, and then click OK. Device Manager opens.
• In Device Manager, click your computer so that it is highlighted.
• Click Action, and then click Scan for hardware changes.
• Check the USB device to see whether it is working.

Turn off Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

• In the Device Manager dialog box, expand Universal Serial Bus controllers, right-click USB Root Hub, and then click Properties.
• In the USB Root Hub Properties dialog box, click the Power Management tab. Uncheck the
  Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
  box.
