Spot on... I used to have intermittent problems until I realised that it was due to microsoft power saving profiles that was causing usb devices to enter power saving mode and drop out.Call (cough) microsoft (cough)
And according to the rumors, the problem only appears with USB devices using Microsoft drivers, so blaming Microsoft is a natural thing. I'm neither a fan nor a hater of neither Microsoft nor AMD, but if the rumors are true and the same systems work just fine in Linux, then it's only logical to suppose that Microsoft's driver is to blame.Also, for those that like to blame Windows, if a device doesn't work as expected with Windows, it's usually a faulty driver or device design that's to blame. Not always, of course, but most of the time.
same, I'm on a b550 board with a 3600, my motherboard sports both usb3 and usb-c (3.2) connectivity, I have 10+ usb devices plugged into my system at any given time, and I've never seen this.I have never had such issues with any AMD system I have used, including ones using 500 series motherboards.
Yeah, AMD has certainly produced high-performing CPUs over its history, but I would never expect dependable IO connectivity from an AMD system. Probably fine for everyday users in most cases, but I would not expect it to be in the same category as a decent Intel system. Just too many intermittent problems with AMD systems really. Stability is generally good, but not 24/7/365 good.

I have had issues with my wireless keyboard and mouse on my desktop X570 mobo. Trying out disabling USB selective suspend setting in my current Power Plan to see if that is a workaround for now.Spot on...

According to the same rumor that says about this issue having something to do with Windows and PCIe4, it also seems to happen most often with USB 2.0, while USB 3.x is working fine.same, I'm on a b550 board with a 3600, my motherboard sports both usb3 and usb-c (3.2) connectivity, I have 10+ usb devices plugged into my system at any given time, and I've never seen this.
