Windows 10: ASIX AX88179 USB3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter not working in USB3.0 port

Following the latest Windows 10 update ( 1803 build 17134.285 ) I notice that my USB3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter is no longer working. It does not switch from WiFi to ethernet in the taskbar when connected.


Oddly this is ONLY happening when I plug it into either of my USB 3.0 ports - it works normally when I plug it into the USB 2.0 port on the laptop.


When I check in device manager there is nothing there under Network Adapters unless it is connected to the USB 2.0 port when I can see it as "ASIX AX88179 USB3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter".


When I plug it into the USB 3.0 it is as though I have not plugged anything into the port. i.e. no Windows sound plays, no taskbar icon for Eject Device etc.


Anyone know if the latest updates have any mods to the USB controllers or something ?


Thanks in advance.

Windows 10 - No Internet - No path forward or back - 100% stuck


Wondering if this would work (as I think the Asus M11AD has USB3 ports) :

Plugable USB 3.0 to 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Network Adapter (ASIX AX88179 chipset, Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP, Linux, OS X, Chrome OS): Amazon.ca: Electronics

 

USB3 device disconnecting when transferring files.

Hello!

I've recently built a new PC and everything is working fine, well almost everything. There are 4 USB ports on the case front panel. Two of them are USB2 and the other two are USB3. My problem lies with the
USB3 ports. Neither of them work when using a USB3 capable stick. File transfers fail within seconds, then you hear the usb stick disconnecting and reconnecting.

I can use a USB2 stick in both of the troublesome ports and files copy perfectly fine (at 20mb/s). The USB3 sticks work perfectly fine on on the USB2 ports and even the USB3 port directly on the motherboard
(at ~57mb/s). The problem occurs only on the front panel USB3 ports when copying at USB3 speeds (~57mb/s).

So far I have tried:

• Updating BIOS
• Updating USB drivers
• Updating Windows 10 to latest version
• Disabling power saving for USB devices in device manager
• Remove and reconnect USB3 cable on motherboard
• Verify if the issue is not the HDD that I am copying from

The motherboard and case in question are:

• Gigabyte Z370 HD3P
• NZXT Source 340 Elite

I am looking for any help or tips regarding this issue as my google skills are failing me.

 

Win 10 Upgrade killed my USB3 ports, need solution

I used the USB3 ports before installing Win 10 on my Dell Inspiron. Now the USB3 ports do not work. Devices plugged into the ports simply do not show up in File Explorer. Suggestions on other sites included update drivers, but the MS driver update feature
says the best driver is already in place.

I welcome suggestions and references.

Thank you.
