  1. USB ports reconnecting and disconnecting


    USB ports reconnecting and disconnecting at random times. I built this computer and its been happening after 2 months since pc was built. I checked for updates are hardware and windows 10. Everything is up to date. Anybody have any ideas? Could it be that my power supply isn't giving enough power? or is it something else

    :)

    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.

    2. USB port is not working.

    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.

    d) Click on Hardware and device and follow the on-screen instructions.



    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.

    d) Click OK.



    Note: Reboot the computer and it will automatically update drivers.



    Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of the issue so that we can assist you further.

  4. USB ports reconnecting and disconnecting

    USB 3.0 randomly disconnecting and reconnecting, not power config

    So I have a Surface Pro 3 running Windows 10, and an external USB 3 HDD. If I plug in the HDD, a process will begin. First the drive will appear with the drive letter only, and be unreadable, but in an unusual way. Any software that attempts to interact with it will hang until it either crashes or the drive is disconnected. During this stage the drive may disconnect and reconnect multiple times. If left in for long enough, the drive will finally show up with it's name, and be readable. However it still disconnects and reconnects.

    Steps I have tried:

    • Disabling the power saving features for all USB devices in Device Manager
    • Reinstalling all USB drivers
    • Testing hard disk on my desktop computer (where it works fine).
    • Powering down the drive for an extended time before trying again
