windows 10 USB Devices continually disconnect and reconnect, as well as the "first time setup"...

[Guest Matthew.Miles27]

I have been having an issue with a USB device, specifically, USB network adapters, continually disconnect, reconnect, reinstall the first time setup like its a brand new device, and then repeat. It has started doing this since yesterday (7/12/17). I don't know why, or how it is doing this. I originally thought it was my network adapter I had so I got a new one that was much better, but nope. I have the same exact issue. I have gone to great lengths to try and fix this, including going to device manager, uninstalling it, restarting completely, and then plugging it in again. It is very hit and miss with connection. For example, today, I booted up my PC and it seemed to work perfectly. I shut it down for a few hours because I had to go out of the house. I come back, turn it on, and it starts to disconnect from wifi, then the computer, reconnect, reconnect to wifi, all while reinstalling the first time setup, and repeating this process for 10 to 20 minutes at a time. It will occasionally settle down, and work for about 5 minutes and then start continually disconnecting and reconnecting. Please, if anyone can help me, I have been trying to fix this for the past hour. If it helps, I went into Event Viewer, and looked at system to find this. I do not think this is related to my issue, but I am still putting it out there. I would greatly appreciate any kind of insight to fix this. Note: I left the adapter unplugged for about 15 minutes, and plugged it back in just now and it seems to be working just great now. I was having the issue with the device plugged into the back of my PC, currently I have no issues with it plugged into the front of the PC. Will experiment to see if it is the USB ports in the back that may be faulty or something. The models of USB network adapters I have been having issues with are Linksys WUSB6300 and Netgear A6210.
