Pendrive disconnects automatically and connects back

Hello,

This problem might be because of your pendrive or your OS.

First of all, try to connect your USB drive to other machines. If it works fine there, then it’s the problem of your machine’s port. If the USB drive gives the same trouble with other machines, the USB drive has gone dump. You’ll have to get another one to work properly.

Next, try the following settings in “Power options”.

1. From Start menu, type “Power options” >> hit Enter.

2. Click “Change plan settings” beside the current selected power plan.

3. Click “Change advanced power settings”.

4. Navigate to USB settings >> USB selective suspend setting.

5. Change to “Disabled”.

6. Click Apply >> OK.

The problem might be of the USB port as well. Try other USB ports. If the same problem persists, then the USB drive is corrupted, otherwise, the port is damaged.

If the problem is with a USB flash drive that keeps disconnecting on the USB port, you need to troubleshoot the connection. If you always connect the USB flash drive on one particular USB port, try connecting it to another USB port. Maybe there’s a problem with that particular port. There are four (4) USB ports at the back of the CPU if you have a desktop computer.

Disconnect the flash drive from the port then plug it on a different USB port. If this doesn’t work, try the next USB port. Use all available ports to troubleshoot the problem. If this doesn’t work, download the latest driver for your motherboard. You can get it from the manufacturer’s website. See the following list of computer manufacturers:

• ASUS Download Center
• Intel Drivers & Software
• Acer Drivers and Manuals
• Toshiba Support
• Lenovo Technical Support
• Dell Drivers & Downloads
• HP Customer Support – Software and Driver Downloads
• Fujitsu Support and Downloads

If the problem continues, try connecting the USB flash drive on another computer then see if the problem follows. If the problem follows then the problem is with the flash drive itself. Just replace it with a new one.
