Windows 10 USB Ports Malfunctioning After Reinstall?
I just re-installed Windows 10 on my desktop since it had been years since I did and I wanted a clean install. However, after re-installing and getting everything setup how I wanted again, I'm having...
- Update motherboard chipset/USB drivers
- Disable USB selective suspend in Power Options
- In Device Manager uninstall all USB controllers and reboot
- Disable Fast Startup in Power Options
- Update BIOS/UEFI firmware
- In each USB Root Hub’s power settings uncheck “Allow computer to turn off this device”
- Run built-in hardware diagnostics on motherboard
- Test ports with known-good devices and cables
- Ensure latest Windows updates are installed
- Boot from a Linux live USB to rule out hardware failure
