Network loop

I am facing an issue. My network gets unstable for a minute and port of one switch goes to error disable and reason i get is loopback. I am not able to identify the issue. i have enabled err disable loopback but it makes network unstable for some time when there is issue if i disconnect that one switch from the network. the whole network works fine there is no time out then. The loop is detected on interface which is connected to root Switch. Conf of the switch having issue is attached.

Make sure that you don't have STP disabled on any port of that switch that you disconnected. You can also disable all ports and leave only the uplinks up, and enable port by port if you are not sure what port is causing problems. Also check the logs

@Ruben Cocheno I have done this but this didnt solved the issue. In logs it shows loopback detected on main cable connected the root switch

I have enabled loopback recovery but it disrupts the whole network which is creating issues for all users

if the root cause is the main cable, then remove it if you have redundancy for that. If not check STP on the switch after that main cable/
