Windows 10 - USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller Code 10

Hello Andrew, you're a STAR!!!

Your solution worked for me, but at step 4 I was only offered a single option, 'USB xHCI compliant host controller'. I decided what the ****, and went for it anyway; it only took a few seconds, but in Device Manager the entry under Universal Serial Bus
controllers now reads 'Renesas USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 0.96 (Microsoft)'.

I'm slightly baffled by the change of identity, but it works, so I'm more than happy.

Many Thanks - nice work!

 

Windows10 USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller code 10

Thanks a lot for your suggestions. All USB ports worked fine a week ago. This problem happened when the computer reboot by itself after I plugged in a USB 3.0 drive. The drive worked with this laptop a week ago.

Now when I tried to update driver by browse my computer, and select Let me Pick, and then the laptop tried to install the driver but failed. It says "Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device" and "Windows found a driver
software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it" and "USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller --> this device cannot start. (Code 10)." I am not sure if this points to a hardware issue or not.

For my computer, in Device Manger, under Universal Serial Bus controllers, there's only one item named 'USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller" which has the problem. There are no USB 2.0 Host or USB Hub that I may uninstall. I did not check what was under 'Universal
Serial Bus controllers" before I had the problem.

Any more advice is highly appreciated.
