How can I bind a USB port to a specific USB Camera

The issue you're experiencing with Windows 11 randomly reassigning USB devices, including cameras, to different ports after reboots or updates can be quite frustrating. To address this problem and ensure a more stable device assignment, you can try the following steps:

1. Disable Automatic Driver Updates:
   
   • Windows updates often include driver updates that can sometimes cause changes in device assignments. You can try disabling automatic driver updates by following these steps:
     
     • Go to "Settings" > "Windows Update."
       
     • Click on "Advanced options."
       
     • Under "Driver updates," select "Only drivers." This will prevent Windows from automatically updating drivers.
       
2. Assign Static Drive Letters:
   
   • For USB devices, including cameras, you can manually assign a specific drive letter to them. This way, Windows will always recognize the device as connected to that particular port. Here's how:
     
     • Connect your USB cameras.
       
     • Open "Disk Management" by searching for it in the Start menu.
       
     • Find your USB cameras in the list.
       
     • Right-click on each camera's drive and choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths."
       
     • Assign a specific, unused drive letter (e.g., E:, F:, G.
       
     • Click "OK."
       
3. Use USB Hubs:
   
   • Consider using powered USB hubs for your cameras. This can help ensure that the devices remain connected to the same ports on the hub even if Windows reassigns the internal USB ports. A powered hub can also provide more stable power to the devices.
     
4. USB Port Labeling:
   
   • Physically label the USB ports and the corresponding cameras. While this won't prevent Windows from reassigning, it will make it easier to reconfigure the monitoring software after each reboot.
     
5. Group Policy and Device Installation Restrictions:
   
   • If you have access to Group Policy settings, you can configure policies to control how devices are installed and managed. This may provide more control over USB device assignments.
     
6. Third-Party Software:
   
   • Consider using third-party software or utilities designed to manage and maintain consistent device assignments. These tools may help you create and enforce specific device-to-port mappings.
     
7. Feedback to Microsoft:
   
   • Provide feedback to Microsoft about this issue. They may address it in future updates if it affects a significant number of users.
     

Please note that modifying the Windows registry can be risky, and it's generally recommended to avoid making changes unless you're confident in what you're doing. Additionally, Windows updates and changes in behavior can sometimes override registry modifications.

 

Opening specific ports in Windows 10 Firewall

I have found a number of web sites discussing Firewall port opening but none giving a step by step procedure for individual port opening for windows 10. Specifically Microsoft chat people have told me to open UDP 5353; TCP 5000; UDP 6010-6012 ; TCP 7000
and TCP 7100 to permit home sharing with Apple TV. Can someone give or publish a step by step for doing this for a novice like me?

Thanks in Advance

Then select Browse my computer for driver software (LAST option) :





The select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer (LAST option) :





Then select the standard driver from the list and click next:





Click next/OK as required to complete installation. Repeat the steps for all Intel USB devices. Finally click on each USB root device and press DEL to delete it, reply YES when asked. After deleting all USB root devices restart the computer.

I hope this is detailed enough...
