Windows 10: Question about my USB Ports and Device Manager

According to my motherboard documentation I'm suppose to have 6 USB 3.0 ports and 8 USB 2.0 ports.

When I look at my device manager for my USB ports it shows the following below.

Universal Serial Bus Controllers
Generic USB Hub
Generic USB Hub
Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
USB Composite Device
USB Mass Storage Device
USB Printing Support
USB Root Hub
USB Root Hub

Based on my device manager I have no idea if I really have USB 3.0. Heck, I'm starting to think none of them are 3.0 -- wouldn't it say 3.0 or 2.0 in the device manager?

Is there another way to check what your USB ports are other than the device manager. Or is that the best I can use.

I have windows 10 Pro 1909 version

USB ports

Hi Frank,

Inserting and removing a USB device repeatedly may cause the USB port to stop responding. When the port is in this state, it no longer recognizes any USB device, and the USB device will not work.

Here are few things that you can do to resolve the issue:

Use Device Manager to scan for hardware changes. After your computer scans for hardware changes, it might recognize the USB device that is connected to the USB port so that you can use the device.

To scan for hardware changes, follow these steps:

• Click Start, and then click Run.
  
  Note If you are running Windows Vista, click Start, and then use the Start Search box.
• Type devmgmt.msc, and then click OK. Device Manager opens.
• In Device Manager, click your computer so that it is highlighted.
• Click Action, and then click Scan for hardware changes.
• Check the USB device to see whether it is working.

Turn off Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

• In the Device Manager dialog box, expand Universal Serial Bus controllers, right-click USB Root Hub, and then click Properties.
• In the USB Root Hub Properties dialog box, click the Power Management tab. Uncheck the
  Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
  box.
  

Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested troubleshooting steps.
