    XHCI Handoff - BIOS Setting question


    In a modern Intel system (Z390 chipset) running Windows 10, should the BIOS setting under USB Configuration for XHCI Handoff be enabled or disabled?

    The default setting is Disabled.

    My understanding is:
    XHCI Handoff disabled means the USB 3 controller functions are handled at the BIOS level.
    XHCI Handoff enabled means the functions are handled by the OS.

    Which is better? I have tried it both ways and can't tell any difference.

    :)

    Windows won't detect some USB devices


    Where do you find these settings? There's only the XHCI handoff enable/disable in the bios.

    XHCI Handoff - BIOS Setting question

    xHCI hand-off Windows 10

    Hi,

    If your Motherboard has an xHCI setting in BIOS and you want the USB Ports to function as USB 3.0 in Windows 10, set your xHCI hand off to
    enabled.

    You may need a driver from the manufacturer. This is turning over control of the port from BIOS to OS.

    Regards.
