some other device on USB causing problems.
your WiFi isn't turned off
bad adaptor
trying a port on the other side might help in some cases

Are you using the manufacturer driver or just plugged the device on and using whatever Windows installed?

What’s the uptime of the system?
Tried a restart? Not a full shut down just a restart.

Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.

Have you tried uncheking the option for Fast Boot in the Power configuration then doing a restart?

I had this on a cheap USB stick I was using on a raspberry pi. I think it was thermal related since it was ok when in the cold shed in winter.
