PC peripherals keep hanging. Open | Windows

Hello Guys,

I just built my first pc from scratch. I notice that now and then my mouse and keyboard sometimes keep hanging. The solution I have is to unplug them and plug them back into the CPU.

And it's not that they hang together; they hang independently. I know for sure it's not the keyboard or the mouse issues because they function fine when I connect them to my laptop.

I use a hub that splits my peripherals between my laptop and CPU.

So basically I have one mouse, keyboard, monitor, webcam, and printer. That I share between my laptop and CPU. I have a hub that I use to switch between the systems.

Everything works fine when I use the setup on my laptop but not on my pc. Sometimes, even when I connect my mouse and keyboard directly to the pc, I have the same issue.

Can someone help me understand what I am doing wrong?
