USB Accessories disabled. Unplug the accessory...
This just popped up. A search on the message results in basically useless answers. In my case everything was fine and my 2023 MacBook Pro 16" screen went to sleep. I am running Ventura 13.3.1.
I have 7 attached drives with one directly connected to a thunderbolt port and the others hanging off a daisy chain of thunderbolt 4 hubs plugged into another thunderbolt port. None of the drives dropped, or at least I didn't get a message that a drive was disconnected. I see all 8 drives, including my internal one, still mounted on the desktop. I have nothing connected to my third thunderbolt port. So what accessory was disconnected? I should add that all the drives are working properly; not just showing on the desktop.
Looking at the USB tree in the System Information app I see all my drives connected.
I am going to reboot, but this message makes no sense. It really needs to explain what USB accessory was disconnected. Only the single drive, a Sandisk 4TB, would even be drawing power. The thunderbolt hubs should be providing power.
