I have manjaro xfce version, new installation. everything updated.

The problem is when i insert a usb device it’s not working, not showing anywhere including “lsusb”. But when i restart my PC; everything is working. I need to restart the PC everytime i plug a usb device.

Any suggestion?

I have the same problem running KDE Plasma on a Lenovo ThinkPad T495, so it could be related to the hardware not the desktop. Any similarities?

If it works after a reboot, maybe you did a system update before? If the kernel is updated, you have to reboot.
