Latitude 5520 USB disconnects when running multiple devices
Hello everyone,
I was issued this laptop for working from home. I bought a KVM switch so that I could use it with my existing PC peripherals. My company also sent me a Dell Universal Dock D6000. When I attempt to use either of these devices to run both my mouse and keyboard through a single USB port, I find that the mouse and keyboard constantly disconnect and reconnect, either fully, or by not taking inputs for a couple seconds at a time, but remaining powered. The issue is worse when I am running the software that manages the mouse and keyboard. The issue also occurs on the Latitude 3520 I have. I'm worried this may be an issue with the speed of the USB ports. Has anyone experienced a similar issue?
Thanks

I ended up finding the solution myself. It was apparently a firmware update that wasn't applied in Windows Updates.

Hi there.
Sorry to hear that. To me this sounds like youre experiencing some usb hub/bus kind of bandwith / power failure behavior.
Are all of your drivers including the bios updates up to date?

But i think, that there might be a problem with the current bios settings. Check out this as reference:

To make it short:
. Important BIOS Settings
The necessary BIOS settings are similar for all USB Type-C Docking Stations. See the individual notes in the following instructions.
Reboot your computer and press the F2 multiple times when the Dell logo appears. In the BIOS, proceed as follows:
Hope that helps!
Cheers,

Our initial reports from customers indicate that even with the release of the latest updates from Dell applied there are still some cases where USB-C devices may not work as expected.
Several customers have confirmed that enabling 'Airplane Mode' is an effective workaround Dell has released several updates for many of their Thunderbolt 3/USB-C systems, including the XPS 13 9350, XPS 15 9550, and Precision 5510.
These include updates to the system BIOS, the Thunderbolt 3 driver as well as the Thunderbolt 3 NVM firmware. Please be sure to visit http://www.dell.com/support and use your Dell Service Tag to locate, download and install the latest updates for your system as a first troubleshooting step should you encounter any issues with our USB-C docking stations with a Dell system.

Can you share which update it was? I looked and not finding anything for my 5520 and having a similar issue but not with a Dell dock.

Dell, Inc. - Firmware - 0.1.22.0 is the one I installed. Notably, I do still experience a more minor version of the issue intermittently. It's solvable now by reseating my main USB cable though, and the symptoms aren't quite so impactful when it is going on. I think the USB ports on this laptop are just kind of slow
