Make sure you haven't switched a hub to a 3.1 port somewhere along the way.Make sure you have no more than three or four devices on each hub.Make sure the power packs for the hubs are actually plugged in tight on both ends.When I troubleshoot Saitek gear, I now go in this order: Just to be sure, download and occasionally run this free power management utility as well.Go into the PC's device settings, right click on each USB hub listed, select properties, and if there is a "Power Management" tab, click it and turn power management OFF.Putting more than one on any hub is pushing your luck.

They definitely draw their full allotment of 500 milliamps.
Spread your Saitek Flight Information Panels across different hubs. Plug your Bluetooth USB keyboard dongle (or some such thing) into that instead. They don't play nice with Saitek gear in my experience. Plug no more than two (or maybe three) devices into each, as the yoke itself also needs power. It's OK to use the Cessna or Pro Yokes as hubs, but make sure that they, too, are powered. If it's a 1.5 amp hub, plug no more than three devices into it. If you plan to have four devices plugged into the hub, get a hub that's a least a 2 amp hub. MAKE CERTAIN there is enough power on the powered hub to provide at least 500 milliamps to each device plugged into it. 
Use ONLY powered hubs if you plan to use external expansion hubs. Plug your Saitek yoke and pedals into USB 2.0 ports if possible. So if you are using Saitek gear, here are my guidelines for them running as seamlessly as possible from a USB perspective. They also are a bit dated, and not all were designed with USB 3.0 (and definitely 3.1) in mind. 
These are finicky devices, and they require a lot of power. I currently have 17 USB devices running on the sim PC.
