My son was literally crying earlier today because his VR headset is no longer visible from Windows and all of his efforts to fix it (driver updates, tweaking various program settings, and so on) failed.

So... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Try a different USB port.
My Valve Index doesn't like my on-board Asus ports but works fine when plugged in a PCIe USB card.

A perfect example of what windows stans are blind to. That you will literally always have trouble on windows doing most things (at some point), and depending on what software you use and other factors, windows might be more problematic for you than even running a rolling release that might break any time. That's the case for me. Also, running the less stable releases is absolutely a choice. Other more stable releases probably break far less often than windows.
