Windows 10: How can I bind a USB port to a specific USB Camera

The issue is I have 4x USB Camera connected to my control node Win11Each camera is physically tied to a Specific Printer to allow users to verify its status.Everything Works.HOWEVER, when I reboot or Microsoft forces an update/reboot Win11 randomly re-assigns the Cameras to USB Ports.What USED to be on UBS04 may be on USB49; what was on USB49 is USB03. It is a PAIN, combined with Com Ports, Ethernet ports, and so on.This means on every reboot, I need to spend time re-configuring the monitoring software so the right camera is assigned to the right printer.I have 2X of one camera and 1x of t

download pictures or anything with my camera USB PORT ERRORS

Hi John,

To take a closer look, can you send a screenshot of the error you're getting when trying to connect the camera to the computer? What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far? Are you able to connect the camera to another computer? Have you tried checking
all your USB ports? What about using a different cable to connect the camera to the USB port?

In the meantime, I suggest running the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter to scan your computer, identify the problems, and attempt to fix the issues automatically.
You may refer to the steps below:

1. Press Windows key + R and type Control Panel.
2. Type troubleshooting in the search bar and click on Troubleshooting.
3. Click on Hardware and Devices.
4. Follow the steps from the wizard to run the troubleshooter.

If the troubleshooter can't identify the problem or fix the issue, try reinstalling your USB drivers.

1. Press Windows key + R and type devmgmt.msc to open
   Device Manager.
2. Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
3. Right-click the first USB controller under Universal Serial Bus controllers, and then click on
   Uninstall to remove it.
4. Repeat these steps for the entire USB controller under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
5. Restart the computer. Windows will automatically scan for hardware changes and reinstall all the USB controllers that you uninstalled.

Let me know how it goes.

 

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.
