Despite the performance gain from switching to Ryzen, I'm starting to regret it a little bit. Never had this magnitude of issues on Intel chips.

 

Anyways, my latest plague of an issue comes in the form of all USB devices disconnecting at once. And then reconnecting all at once around 20-40 seconds later. As you can imagine, this is infuriating, not only because Windows plays the disconnect sound for every device, but because it renders my PC completely unusable. Someone in the LTT discord suggested that it was because I had high power devices plugged into an un-powered hub. I do have an un-powered hub, but it only has simple USB devices plugged into it; my printer, my keyboard's USB pass-through, my mouse pad's USB pass-through, and my USB microphone. The USB pass-throughs are 2.0 and rarely have a device connected to them. On my motherboard I have my keyboard, mouse, mousepad, external HDD (has its own power brick), a 2 port USB 3 hub (un-powered. Not always used, and used only for powered devices or low power devices), and lastly a USB 3 AC wifi adapter. This happens completely at random, I could be late in a match in-game or just browsing YouTube.

 

I tried going into Windows power settings and disabling USB selective suspending. And I've gone through task manager and set every USB related device I can think of to not be turned off to save power. 

My motherboard is the Asus ROG Strix B350-F
