At the end of the day the only thing that really worked for me was restating the machine, or restarting the Chipset Host Controller under the Universal Serial Bus Controllers


  • How to restart a usb port or connection
    • Go to Control Panel>Device Manager>Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    • Each USB port will have a corresponding Host Controller
    • For each one, right click and disable, then right click and enable
  • How to disable USB Suspend Power Settings
    • Scroll to the right and type 'Power Options' in the search field and click on it.
    • Click 'Change plan setting' on your chosen plan.
    • Click 'Change advanced power setting' on your chosen plan.
    • Find 'USB settings' and open.
    • Find 'USB selective suspend setting' and change it to disabled.
