Windows 10: Windows 10 connects and disconnects all USB devices

I'm currently using version 1803 (17134.228). The only device I have constantly connected is wired mouse. Nearly 2 weeks ago mouse started disconnecting from PC. After replugging it continued working for several hours. The same happened with all devices connected to PC. Then devices started disconnecting more often. Two days ago replugging devices stopped working, then I reinstalled all of the drivers related to USB controllers, rebooted PC and that did the trick, but not for too long - devices started disconnecting more rapidly (once per 20-30 minutes). Disabling USB Selective suspend didn't work. And even Windows reinstalling didn't help - devices continue disconnecting


So, here's what I did:

• Deleting and reinstalling USB drivers
• Change power setting regarding USB
• Change power saving option from human interface devices
• Toubleshoot hardware and devices (USB supplies power, Windows plays connection sound, but still doesn't work anything, even notification "Setting XXX device up" appears)
• Reinstall Windows

What else can I do?

System connects and disconnects USB drives...

Thanks Bree, but doing so made no difference.

I've been researching this issue, including event ID 51. Most seems to suggest that the drive is failing, but that isn't for my drive. The USB 3.0 hub on the monitor does not have the system connect/disconnect issue, transferring 11 GBs of data didn't even take long:





The most helpful advice had been this one:

USB port mess... - Windows 7 Help Forums

Yes, my own post from four years ego in Windows 7 forum, pretty much forgot that the Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5 TH motherboard has a hardware issue related to the USB ports.

Maybe removing all USB hubs/devices, let Windows 10 detect them and install the driver(s) would resolve this. After reading through my link above, I am not inclined to do that at this time...

Again, thanks for your help Bree...
