USB failures

[Bisch]

Hey there, although using not all of my USB ports, a powered USB hub, an additional usb port card with mainboard connector I can’t get a stable environment. Only the last re-plugged devices seem to work reliably. Others often stay undetected after boot (rare) or stop working here and there. Sure, using Warthog, Vive pro, a metal keyboard with two usb connectors, a mouse, a jet seat, sometimes even a button board uses a lot of bus and electrical power but other than leaving off button board and even jet seat I don’t know what to do. Any ideas where to start? Could it be the PSU?

Also have you gone in to Device Manager and disabled power management on all the USB hubs?

+1 for disabling power management. Pretty sure that's what is happening to you Atelophobia. We are all using a lot of USB ports for DCS and this behavior is typical of the default way Windows is managing the USB ports.

Go to Device manager and list all your USB device. For each of them, go to the properties and disable power management.
