Try setting this to on.

Here "auto" should work. Please try.

Please set this to "on"

I suspect this is caused by outdated laptop-mode-tools.

Basically setting the port controls (as opposed to hub and device
controls) to "auto" tells the kernel that it may disable hotplugging
to save energy. Hotunplug for devices that need remote wakeup will
still work. Likewise if you disable autosuspend of the attached devices.
