It's not you connecting them. Most of the devices are just chips on your motherboard. They are always physically connected, but if they fail, or get bad power, or the chips that lead to them fail, or drivers are corrupt, or etc. they may just come up as "disconnected" because Windows' expected them to be there and they are not.
