AMD MSI B350 VR USB C Port Connects and Disconnects Randomly

Alright, I'll try these. The only thing I'm worried about is that hardware ID's don't match up. But thanks for this. I'll report back once I see if it works.

EDIT:
Well, the driver install didn't even start. I just got a resounding Absolutely not! from my computer while trying the setups. Here are some screenshots:

 

USB Ports disconnecting and reconnecting mouse randomly

Hi!

I've had a problem with my USB ports for a few weeks now. Sometimes the mouse disconnects and then reconnects randomly. This usually happens inside games but has also happened while I'm browsing. A few times both my keyboard and mouse disconnects and reconnects
but yesterday it got worse and both disconnected but didnt reconnect but the lights on the keyboard and mouse where still on.

After the first times it happened I updated windows (didn't fix problem). Then I tried going to device manager and power management on root hubs and deselecting "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" (didn't fix problem). I have also
tried going into the power plan and change USB settings to "USB selective suspend setting disabled" (didn't fix problem). I have uninstalled root hubs and restarted the computer (didnt fix problem). However I didn't uninstall every root hub or USB hub option
because I read that for some people the usb ports didn't work at all after that. I have tried the mouse on a different computer and it works without problems I have also tried different ports and both keyboard and mouse has been connected in the USB ports
on the back and the problem persists.

I read that a windows update (KB4074588) could be the problem but I could not find that update on my computer in the updates section under Programs and features.

All USB ports disconnect and reconnect sometimes?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. I understand that USB ports are disconnected and reconnected randomly.
I will surely help you to fix this issue.



This issue could have occurred due to these reasons:

1. USB drivers are corrupt.

3. Hardware issue.

Try the steps listed here:



Method 1:

Let's first run hardware troubleshooter and check.



a) Press “Windows Key + W”.

b) Type “Troubleshooting “in the search box and hit
Enter.

c) Click on Hardware and sound.

Method 2:

If the issue persists, I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall USB controllers from device manager and check if it helps.



a) Press Windows Key + R, type devmgmt.msc.

b) Expand the USB controllers, click on the drivers.

c) Click on properties, click on uninstall tab.
