just want to inform you that this happened with my Lenovo USB 3.0 dock also several times the last days w/o reason.
-) Upgrading to latest USB 3.0 drivers did not help
-) Downgrading back to previous drivers did not help
-) Uninstalling xHCI Intel drivers completly did not help
Sometimes it was reconnecting all the time (every 5 seconds) - not useable.
Could it be that this dock/IC does not like sunshine so much and that it depends where you place it and how USB cable is placed?
The steps are always the same:
1) 2nd USB 2.0 hub stops working
2) after some seconds dock is disconnected
3) after some seconds dock is reconnected
4) continue with 1)
Deactivating 2nd hub didnot help. between 1) and 2) it's possible to still use the monitors. No other device was connected to the docking station - just 2 monitors, no network used, no sound used.
V 7.2.47873.0
Edit: I installed wrong USB 3.0 drivers (C220 instead of C216) and placed it differently - worked for minimum 30 min - let's see how long it will continue to work
Edit2: just found a similiar currently active thread with the same problem:

Edit3: Not working. USB hub fails then same procedure again.
