No USB ports working on toshiba laptop

Hi guys,

Got an old Toshiba laptop, satellite l500d pslk0a-00r009
Its old and doesn't officially support win10. However I have it installed and everything works fine except USB. All the ports seem completely dead, plugging in a USB mouse I get no light on the mouse. USB flash drives don't work either. This was previously working under win7.

The issue seems to be I don't have "Generic USB hub" in device manager. Have tried to manually install it using add legacy hardware but it wont take. I have several USB root hub and others listed, but not the generic hub.

Here's what I have tried so far:

Uninstall all USB device in device managers and reboot
Confirmed BIOS is latest version
tried both legacy and compatibly USB mode in BIOS
Download and install generic win10 USB drivers
Disable USB power saving mode
Installed toshiba's service center, no updates available
Ran MS troubleshooter/fixit

I think the next step is to give up, but does anyone else have any suggestions?

thanks

 

I forgot my windows password for my laptop Toshiba

Hi Natalie,

Before attempting to reset your computer account password, make sure you are using the correct keyboard settings, and try all available methods to sign in to your account. Try turning caps lock on and off, use an alternative sign-in method (PIN or picture
password, if available), or change your keyboard layout if you have multiple layouts set up in Windows.

If all things are done and you're still unable to sign-in to your computer. We suggest to reset your Windows 10 local account password. To do this, simply follow the steps provided on this
