All of my USB devices randomly disconnect and will sometimes reconnect on their own in 10-20 seconds. Other times when they do not reconnect I have to completely restart the PC to get devices back working. I have tried uninstalling drivers for the USB roothubs and devices with no luck of a fix. I have not seen this issue addressed elsewhere or corrected. Other instances have not been similar to mine and this issue was non existent before upgrading to Win11. I even did a repair install of Win11 with no luck either. Any help or fixes would be greatly appreciated.

Try disabling Edge on startup and reboot. I know, it doesn't sound like it would be related but this fixed it for me, and I can't explain it. problem is, after a windows update, it was back on in startup, so I had to disable it again after that.
I started Taskmanager and killed alle Edge and webview process. I was able to copy more than a GB of data. Excatly at the moment I opened Edge, my USB disk dropped out, and copying halted..
This is excatly what I have experienced. No problems in windows 10, upgrading to win 11 indroduced this error. Then A reenstall of win 11 didnt fix the problem, however it became less frequent. One thing Ive noticed, is the longer the pc is on, the more frequent it becomes
Thanks

Windows 11 is a premature program
Usb ports are not good to use anymore
requesters wil apear oudside the screen
burnig backups on dvd won't work
this occures on a certified last generation HP desktop
lan connection takes a lot of time connecting
im tired to write more
I thank god i have not update my work pc
it has still windows 7 and is rock steady and works like a rocket
windows 11 has more issues then a chinese knockoff android tablet 🤣
I guess the microsoft team is working hard and there wil be a day that everything wil be ok
at this point. those who are facing this issue shouldnt start changing things
its not anything we've changed', unless you changed something to make this happen.
in my case no..
so why should i change anything trying to chase a bug that i didnt cause.
I'm getting this issue on a brand-new PC build and it's frustrating.
I thought it might be a lemon PSU, so I replaced it with a better one. It seems like it kind of helped, not getting daily crashes, but still getting the USB disconnects. I tried disabling the "allow device to be powered down" option on all USB devices and it did not help. System still did a full sweep disconnect of all USB devices with no option but to restart the PC. Also on 24H2.
