The problem is that sometimes the usb ports stop recognizing anything and label every device as unknown

it happened before multipile times and it go back to normal after a while but the time varies

sometimes it took days some times it took 10 minutes I have tried device manager I also tried restarting and reinstalling all the drivers but it doesn't work

what shall I do
