Windows 10: USB devices will intermittently not respond after windows wakes up or when windows cold boots.

Hi all so I have been having this issue that has been happening on and off with my mouse and keyboard where when windows wakes from sleep or boots up from a powered off state the mouse or keyboard or both will power on but will not respond and I will just be stuck at the lock screen. The only thing that seems to solve this issue is to power down the PC and power it back on. I have already tried disabling USB selective suspending and making sure that the mouse and key board are given permission to wake the computer in device manager but I still get the same issue. I tried different ports as well and the issue persists. I have checked by Motherboards( X570 AORUS ELITE WIFI (rev. 1.0)) bios (ver. F10) to see if there was a bios setting to make sure that wake by USB was enabled there but there not option for it thus no way for me to know if Gigabyte has the option enabled or not on my board. I would assume it would be automatically enabled if there is no option present. I would say its a problem with my Motherboard but I had this exact same issue on my last motherboard different install of windows. Has anyone else had this issue before? if so how did you manage to fix it? At this point I'm considering reinstalling windows and seeing if that changes anything.

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

 

Installing windows off of a USB stick

Step By Step from vista:
From admin cmd prompt

1. diskpart
1a. list disk
2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
3. clean
4. create partition primary
5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
6. active
7. format fs=fat32
8. assign
9. exit

Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

And that's it, boot off your usb disk

 

Win 7 cold boot trouble

Every cold boot i have problems starting the pc

It boots, crashes during windows screen, reboots (either hangs at post) or boots up with windows recovery timeout

this has started recently i'm unsure of the cause, this motherboard had problems with some usb devices causing the BIOS to hang but it doesn't occur anymore.
