All USB devices Disconnect randomly on Windows 11.

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.

    I have both. Internal WD hdd and external WD Hdd

    In which case disabling this service might impact on your hard drive performance. I think it's merely a coincidence that the USB disconnection problems went away when you disabled this service.

    For the moment i found a solution for me. I don't know if is available for everybody but you can try. I found that one of services is creating that trouble with all USB. I deactivated and uninstalled the program WD Driver utility and now is working OK. Image

    Thanks but I don't think that's related. I don't have it on my system. Most likely you have a Western Digital hard drive or a portable device?
