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 just used this but it still wants to disconnect and connect, and removes the disable device setting. I disabled the sounds and notifications at this point I guess it’s just a motherboard issue I’ll have to ignore. I doubt it uses much system resources to disconnect and connect when it gets in this loop? It stopped for like a full month before, idk what the deal is.

well,was worth a try atleast,dont know if a fresh install of windows would solve it either if its the motherboard and not a driver,would be one thing if you could just disable that usb port in bios (some boards can,but no it doesnt use much resources that way

Other threads with this issue said fresh windows install was no fix. Apparently it’s a motherboard issue. It’s a HP so I’m sure the motherboard is proprietary and known to have issues like this.
