Hi everyone, this is the first time in my life (I'm 39) that I'm reaching out to a Linux forum. 
Firstly, I want to praise Zorin OS as the distribution that ended my distro hopping. Although I was mainly a satisfied user of Linux Mint, which I use on my work laptop, I always felt like something was missing, or perhaps it had too much going on.
With Zorin OS Lite, I finally found a distribution that has exactly what I need, with excellent performance, and I've been very happy using version 16.3 Lite.
By chance, I saw there was a suggestion to update to version 17.1 lite, and although I postponed it for a few days, curiosity got the best of me and I updated.
I want to clarify that up until that moment my laptop had no issues.
I updated, and everything worked.
However, something strange is happening: my wireless mouse stops working randomly.
It can happen in any USB port where I have the receiver connected. I ruled out the mouse being the issue since I tested with three different ones. Additionally, I have a dual boot with Windows 10, and I didn't have any issues there before, nor now.
I don't have advanced knowledge in Linux, but with the help of AI (Chat GPT), I was able to see some things.
1- For example, when the issue occurs (the mouse seems to "turn off" while the receiver is connected to the USB port where it stopped working), if I connect the receiver to another USB port, the mouse starts working again. However, via lsubs, it's as if it's still connected to the USB port that failed, showing me the entry corresponding to the device, duplicated:
marian@vostro:~$ lsusb

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
And for example, if I disconnect the mouse receiver, the device doesn't go away:
marian@vostro:~$ lsusb
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
That already seems quite odd...
Then in the logs, at the exact time when the mouse stops working, I see this message:

Subsequently, it seems that you can see how, by changing the receiver to a different USB port, the mouse starts working again:

While I was writing this post, it happened again :o

And now I have a duplicated entry in lsusb again:
marian@vostro:~$ lsusb

But there's no receiver connected, and then all USBs stop working. When this happens, I have no choice but to restart the system.
Investigating a bit more (with the help of AI once again), I read that xhci_hcd is (copying and pasting) "a host controller driver for USB 3.0 and later versions in the Linux kernel. This driver is responsible for managing communication between the operating system and USB devices that comply with USB 3.0 and higher specifications."
So it seems I'm on the right track regarding the error, but I still can't determine what is causing it.
I then checked if this driver has a version number (To see if I could compare it with the version I had in Zorin OS 16.3 Lite and if that has any basis) but I couldn't find anything similar:
marian@vostro:~$ modinfo xhci_hcd
name: xhci_hcd
filename: (builtin)
license: GPL
file: drivers/usb/host/xhci-hcd
author: Sarah Sharp
description: 'eXtensible' Host Controller (xHC) Driver
parm: link_quirk:Don't clear the chain bit on a link TRB (int)
parm: quirks:Bit flags for quirks to be enabled as default (ullong)
Honestly, I'm not sure where to further delve into the diagnosis. Ultimately, it's not a serious error, as I have two attempts before both USB ports lock up (randomly), and if necessary, I can restart the system and it's resolved. As a last resort, I could reinstall the previous version (Lite 16.3), but it seems like an interesting error to learn more about how my system works.
If you could guide me on how to proceed to find the problem, I would be very grateful 
Just in case, I'm attaching some system data that might be helpful:

Please, have mercy if I attached too much or irrelevant data, or if the post became too long to read. Remember, this is my first time doing this, so please go easy on me.
I'm already grateful for any suggestions you could provide.
Best regards,
P.S.: Toward the end of the writing, the issue happens again. I'm attaching the log and lsusb with another mouse connected, where the same pattern described before repeats.
