Tecknet UsbC / A Adapter is disconnecting and reconnecting after using beatport for about 10 hours on Brave Browser only happening on one machine

Tecknet UsbC / A Adapter is disconnecting and reconnecting; after using Beatport & Mammoth Interactive Courses for about 10 hours on Brave Browser; only happening on one machine.

Happening for everything now even when the browser is not open.

Guessing some sort of cache poisoning exploit because running Bleechbit seems to stop it from happening when Brave is not open at least. (chrome is exploitable)

Much Appreciated.

This seems to be the adapter itself; being taken over remotely through the browser or window manager via memory leak; the adapter then returns to normal operation until the process happens again.
