Can't connect both mouse and keyboard in USB ports in back of pc
It's a pretty specific problem.
For some time I've had issues with windows forgetting or losing connection to both the mouse and keyboard about a minute after windows started up. It would usually work after restarting, but would show up again about once in every 10 startups.
Tried to fix it by uninstalling all USB components through the device manager, but now this (other?) issue hits me instead.
Whenever my mouse and keyboard are both connected in the back of the PC, they screw up each others functionality. I can have the mouse plugged in and working, but when I plug in the keyboard, they both start flashing their lights, and stop working, and vice versa with the keyboard plugged in and then connect the mouse.
Neither of them seem to mind the USB headset, which is also plugged into the back of the PC. Also it doesn't matter if I use the USB 3 sockets or the regular USB 2 ones - I've tried all possible options: Headset disconnected, mouse and keyboard still hate each other. 1 in USB 3 and the other in USB 2. Both in USB 3, and so on and so fourth.
I have a temporary workaround in using the USB port in front of the machine for either mouse or keyboard and the other still plugged into the back. That's the only way I can get them to play nicely with each other.
However, I prefer not to use the front, cus I'm afraid I will damage the port and/or cable, if I hit it with my knee or something.
I've attached a DxDiag file for spec and system information.
Hope you can help and thanks so much in advance :)
