This worked fine on my older Dell on USB 3. Got an HP Pavilion 590-p0044, and now it keeps disconnecting/connecting. Sometimes it refreshes the icons on my taskbar. I have 4 back USB 3.1 and it happens on them all. Not on the 2 USB 2 back ports. Not on the 2 front USB 3.1 ports. Only the 4 in back. I tried turning off ability to put to sleep on all USB options. Tried changing Power Options. My cord is not too long. It’s rather short (Not sure if I can go shorter and still be bale to plug it in.). Tried disabling my HDD under Device Manager Portable Drives. Same nothing. Tried installing AMD USB 3.0 Host Controller & AMD USB Filter Driver. No change. Windows 10 says I’m using the latest drivers. I even tried uninstalling all USB Root hubs. Still disconnects & reconnects.

No matter what, those 4 Back USB 3.1’s will not maintain connection to my HDD.
