For clarity, which version of Windows 11 are you currently using? When sharing a troubleshooting thread, it's standard to provide detailed system information. Please share your specifications in the following format:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
Monitor:
Include the age of the PSU along with its make and model. Also, mention the BIOS version for your motherboard at this time. Listing your peripherals can also provide useful context for your problem.

In Device Manager did you verify hidden devices? Also, check Reliability History/Monitor for any associated error codes, warnings, or messages.

Hi Ralston
I just looked into hidden devices and non errors, and checked the Reliability History. There was an error related to Windows update, so I performed a manual update.
I still have the same driver issue in Devices And Printers. When I click it, Troubleshooting is required.
In recent days, we experienced some USB problems where the connection would disconnect and reconnect. I haven’t noticed any errors for USB anywhere.

Take a "deeper dive" using a PowerShell command. Examine the devices detected with the "Get-PNPDevice" cmdlet. Run it with administrative privileges. Review the results carefully, scrolling through the list to spot unexpected entries. You can also use "Get-WindowsDriver -Online -All" for similar information. Note: the process may take time and produce a long output—take your time to understand everything before proceeding.

Here are some suggestions for troubleshooting the USB problem:
We have several units connected, and most issues occur when playing keyboard or using edrum, causing frequent USB problems and sometimes making it hard to move the mouse during playback. This was working until recently.
Update: We switched to a different USB interface. The previous one had its own power supply; now it gets power from the USB hub. I might need a powered USB hub.
Update 2: I tested with and without an external power source connected to the USB hub. Also reconnected USB devices to the PC and hub. All worked fine again without extra power.
The issue appears to be quite inconsistent.
