Windows 10: USB-connection is lost after reboot

I have a User interface running on a PC. The display is an LCD-panel with a touch-USB the touchscreen.


Now this particular installation has no room for the PC close to the touchscreen, so we are using a HDMI-KVM extender KVM = Keyboard/Video/Mouse where the input and video is transmitted between a sender at the PC and a receiver at the touchscreen unit through an ethernet cable.


The problem is that if the PC reboots, the USB is lost - until I power down/up on the receiver-unit.


Is there a setting in Windows10 where I can specify that upon reboot it should keep the USB-connections "from last time"?

lost usb ports

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

As per the issue description front USB ports are not working on your computer after upgrading to Windows 10.

I understand that the USB device is not getting detected by your computer. The issue may arise if the currently loaded USB driver has become unstable or corrupt or if your PC requires an update for issues that may conflict
with a USB device and Windows. This may also occur if your USB controllers may have become unstable or corrupt. So, I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if the issue persists.

Method 1:

Remove and reinstall all USB controllers.

• Open Device Manager by pressing Windows key + X and select
  device manager from the list. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
• In the list of hardware categories, find and expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
• Right-click every device under the Universal Serial Bus controllers node, and then click
  Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
• Restart the computer, and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.
• Plug in the removable USB device, and then test to make sure that the issue is resolved.

Method 2

The issue could be if the drivers are not updated or get corrupted. So, try to install all of the Windows updates available and if issue persists, try to update the Display drivers by following the steps provided in the article mentioned below.
