Windows 10: Camera, USB ports, Blutooth, probably other stuff I haven't found all stopped working...

I started running through things to get the USB ports to work, then I realised the Camera wasnt working, now realised the blu tooth is gone as well.

Only thing that seemed to change before was a security update.

I have tried updating drivers, and uninstalling the camera and USB hub in the device manager and I downloaded and installed all optional updates.



Now I don't even know what to start looking for, I feel like it is something big that has to change but I dont even know what to search for. I can search for USB ports not working...but I dont know what's not working?



Any ideas?

USB 2.0 Ports Stopped working

Hello,

I recently noticed my USB 2.0 ports have stopped working, but my USB 3.0 port is functioning perfectly.

Steps i have tried:

- Restarting

- Searching for device changes in Device manager

- running troubleshooter

all these suggested fixes didn't remedy the issue, its a bit of an inconvenience that i only have one functioning USB port

Thanks

 

Camera and all USB ports not working suddenly

Hi,

I have Lenovo U31-70 laptop with a Windows10 installed on it. I purchased it in August 2015.

Since last month, neither the integrated camera nor any of the USB ports are working (not sure if both stopped working at the same time). In Device Manager I dont see the 'Imaging Devices' listed (where I was hoping 'Camera' to be listed). I am able to see
dropdown for USB controllers (it has 5 sub-options on which I have right clicked and done software update on each... still USB not working). If I open the ' Camera app', it says 'either camera is not connected or being used by some other application'

What could be possible approach to troubleshoot this? Can someone direct me to where to download the drivers and try to re-install them for both camera and USB (unable to locate them on Lenovo website for my model)

 

My usb port stop working

Hello,

This is Sudha Independent Advisor and user like you. Please follow below steps to solve your issue

Method 1: Use Device Manager to scan for hardware changes

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:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

Note If you are running Windows Vista, click Start, and then use the Start Search box.

2. Type devmgmt.msc, and then click OK. Device Manager opens.

3. In Device Manager, click your computer so that it is highlighted.

4. Click Action, and then click Scan for hardware changes.

5.Check the USB device to see whether it is working.

If scanning for hardware changes fixed the problem

Method 2: Disable and re-enable the USB controller

Use Device Manager to disable and re-enable all the USB controllers. This lets the controllers recover the USB port from its unresponsive condition. The USB controllers represent the USB ports in Device Manager. If you are not comfortable with advanced troubleshooting,
try the steps in the "Workaround" section.

To disable and re-enable the USB controllers, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

Note If you are running Windows Vista, click Start, and then use the Start Search box.

2. Type devmgmt.msc, and then click OK. Device Manager opens.

3. Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.

Note You might have to scroll down the list to find this item.

4.Right-click the first USB controller under Universal Serial Bus controllers, and then click Uninstall to remove it.

5. Repeat step 4 for each USB controller that is listed under Universal Serial Bus controllers.

6. Restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically scan for hardware changes and reinstall all the USB controllers that you uninstalled.

7.Check the USB device to see whether it is working.

If the USB port recognizes the device and if you can use the device, you are finished.
