Windows 10: When playing games my USB devices constantly connect/reconnect over and over

I'm running the following:



Processor AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor 3.70 GHz

Installed RAM 16.0 GB

System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X eight core processor

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070

Windows 10 64-bit



My issue is that whenever I play a game any game at all various USB devices/sockets will constantly disconnect/reconnect themselves. The only devices it doesn't happen to are the keyboard and mouse, however my webcam, microphone and USB wifi device and iPhone will all do it. It doesn't matter which USB socket they're plugged in to. The moment I start a game Windows will start making the noise to inform me a device has been connected/disconnected, my wifi will drop out, the webcam/mic will both stop working and then they'll keep reconnecting/disconnecting themselves.


I have tried reinstalling the USB sockets via device manager, I've tried updating my motherboard chipset, I've uninstalled and reinstalled my graphics drivers, I've updated the USB drivers etc. I don't know what else to try but it is incredibly frustrating. Can anybody help?

:)

 

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.

 

Issue when playing games

Hello,

This issue when you're playing games can be due to incompatible driver since it can be resolved by updating the display driver. However, we would like to know more about your concern. Kindly provide us the needed information below:

• Which device are you using in playing games?
• Is this issue happening when you're playing online or offline games?
• Is there a connected USB device?
• Are you getting any error messages?

As an initial recommendation, we suggest that you try reinstalling the driver instead of updating it. Here's how:

• Open Device Manager.
• Right-click (or tap and hold) the name of the device.
• Select Uninstall.
• Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.

Looking forward to your response for any updates.

 

USB Devices Disconnecting/Reconnecting

Hey guys.

I'm not quite sure how to explain my issue in a way that is most helpful, but for some reason, my USB devices keep disconnecting/reconnecting..in some instances my USB connection for my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and my Microsoft SideWinder X6 keyboard will disconnect, but my SideWinder X8 mouse and other USB devices remain unaffected.. Event Viewer doesn't have much data to help with as far as logs either. I have tried to reinstall the USB controller but didn't help.

More specifically my PdaNet+ keeps losing USB connection to my phone which is odd because the cable I am using is a Belkin 3m microUSB data/sync cable for my phone. It is connected to one of the ports at the back of my system. I'd like to note that this issue wasn't happening yesterday, but has been throughout this week but on and off.
