Windows 10: Update disabled USB Ports.

Windows 10 USB 3.0 Ports got Disabled after a recent failed update try.
KB3081438 which downloads, but fails to install [HERE]

The ports are powered since i can connect my mobile to the 'disabled' ports and yet charge the device but cannot do any data transfer. But the USB 2 Port works fine without any problems. And this only happens in Windows since i tried booting using a live linux USB and it worked just fine, so this is a software issue with windows and I need to figure it out.

// I have already tried the basics like checking the settings in Device manager/Uninstalling the device and rebooting and other common trouble shooting tips form the net. Since there are no relevant solutions for windows 10 Problems yet on the net this is a place to start. //

Solved : Resolved the issue by manually Installing the Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller all ports working fine now.
Step 2 : Go to Device manager -> System Devices -> eXtensible Host Controller and Update that. That will fix that. *Smile

Windows 10 Pro 64 bit keeps turning off my usb ports killing my keyboard while I am typing

Similar problems, first with Wifi card, then, a couple of months later, with two USB ports (with same driver). Windows made clear (if indirectly) where the problem was in the former case, but not in the second. In both cases, Control Panel> Device Manager
showed that the associated hardware had been disabled (presumably on an update), because 'Windows had detected a problem with the hardware'. The solution was to disable the !-flagged device, then enable it. (Updating the driver had no effect.)

When Windows 10 disabled the USB port it disabled both mouse and keyboard; fortunately two other USB ports were still enabled and so switching them over restored access to the computer. Had Windows disabled all the USB ports, I'd have been properly stymied.
Concur entirely with DanielStarseer's remark.
