USB Flash Drives Randomly Disconnect - New Dell Inspiron 14 7400
Hello,
My laptop has two USB 3.2 Type-A 1st gen ports, one on each side. I have a Samsung 3.1 FIT Plus 256 flash drive that I leave permanently in one port, and it randomly disconnects. It can happen when I am using it, or not using it. Obviously very inconvenient when I am using it, such as copying files to and from, or watching a movie from it.
I also regularly use a Philips Snow 3.0 128 GB flash drive in the other port, same story. Using it or not, it randomly disconnects. Very inconvenient obviously when I am using it.
I´ve read quite a few posts here (and elsewhere) of possible remedies for the random disconnection problem. Yes, I have also gone to device manager > Universal Serial Bus controllers > USB Root Hub (two listed) > Properties > Power Management > Unchecked Box: Allow this computer to turn off this device to save power. Didn´t help.
So what IS the solution?
Thanks so much in advance for your help.

I am sad to report, everything we´ve done has not solved my problem. I was just in the middle of formatting a new flash drive in diskpart, format fs = ntfs, and the flash drive disconnected at 28%.
I´m at my wit´s end.
This morning, I went ahead and posted the same topic on the Windows 10 community forum.

Well, maybe a quick format required. If all that doesn't work.
1. Buy a new USB to try and see if your old USB was the problem.
2.Throw the laptop in the trash.

Ok, I probably called it the wrong thing.

You can ask questions from the Microsoft Community, specifically about issues regarding Windows 10.
I am not alone with my flash drive randomly disconnecting issue.

If nothing helps, ask Dell or ask Mr.Google or still, throw it in the trash or let the dog ate it then buy a new one.

Now you can learn other things. Programming is the most important to be an IT professional or expert. So you can try learning some programming languages.
