Windows 10: "Invisible" USB plugging in and out.

I've had a problem about 5 days ago with an "invisible USB plugging in and out" while making the audio about every 3 seconds. I've found out how to fix that. Go into your device manager > Display > Show hidden devices. Open the usb section to view all the usb ports and uninstall driver for the usb devices called "generic usb hub". That should do the trick, It worked right away for me. Hope this helps those who might need it.
