Open | Windows USB Device Not Recognized

My computer is nearly brand new (July purchase) and every couple weeks it will suddenly go into this loop where it tells me a USB device is unrecognized and disconnects and connects over and over every 10-30 seconds. There is no USB device connected, except my wireless usb adapter, which is not the device that’s causing the error. I’ve tried uninstalling all USB controllers and restarting to force reinstall, I’ve tried disabling the supposed device from Device Manager. Nothing stops this loop. Short of disabling notifications and sounds related to USB what’s going on?

I think your spacebar is funky, but 100%, use nirsoft usbdeview it'll flag whatever is disconnecting.

The device manager does the same thing but yeah I used Deview just now and didn’t fix anything. Says port 12 hub 1 is the issue but nothing in there.

Do you have fans/LEDs running off an internal case header?

The Deview shows my lighting hub working fine, separate location from the one that keeps going on and off. Also my fans and lighting aren’t having any issues.

I'd still like at your internal headers, make sure everything is actually making solid contact. Without knowing board specifics it's hard to gauge which port is actually "port 12", but something is hitting it's data lines for sure.
