Referring to this issue: https://forums.intel.com/s/question/0D50P000049fZaOSAU/the-2-usb-30-ports-on-the-stk2m3w64cc-compute-stick-power-supply-are-not-working?language=en_US I experience exactly the same problem with my Intel compute stick.

"While I am plugging in a thumb drive or, anything else for that matter, the device looses the connection and regains it intermittently while just slightly moving the USB plug."

Have there been any updates / solutions to this? May it be a production issue?
