    USB 3 Ports Stopped Working


    My front and rear USB 3 ports stopped working. The rear USB 2 ports still work. When I plug an external HDD into the front USB 3 ports it powers up the drive, but it isn't recognized in Windows Explorer. My USB card reader doesn't light up. Device Manager doesn't show any USB 3 devices, and nothing is showing a yellow x in Device Manager.

    Any ideas? The last time I used the front ports was a few weeks ago at most. There have been Windows 10 updates since then, but I don't know specifically when they stopped working.

    Edit: Solved. After reading on another forum that powering down solved the problem, I thought I'd try it. I was skeptical, but surprisingly, it worked. Resets did nothing, but powering down for a few minutes, and then turning it back on did restore the USB 3 ports.

    non working USB ports

    I have been using all my USB ports on my HP laptop until yesterday. I noticed the wireless mouse not working and switched ports. USB ports 2 and 3 stopped working altogether for any device but port 1 ( I guess ) still works for printer, external HD and
    mouse. Why did they just stop working? I need more than ONE USB port.
