Why does USB-C port work with DisplayPort but not with USB flash drive?

The model was Lenovo Legion Pro 7 Gen 8 (16″ AMD) Gaming Laptop with latest Windows 11. (Nvidia 4080) The USB-C port at rear and left side somehow stopped recognize the USB flash drive or any other USB flash drive device. I tried to use the phone and it showed it's not charging either. It still worked with video output at 2K resolution. I tried to install the AMD driver, Nvidia driver, and reinstalled the Windows, but it didn't help. I tired to delete the usb controller and reinstalled it, but it also didn't help. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with Thunderbolt 4 but the website said Wi
