I had the issue with USB ports not working.Panic was my 1st response, but it didn't solve anything. I rebooted into the BIOS and everything worked fine. Then rebooted into the Windows Recovery screen Reboot 3x to get thereI opted for a non-destructive repair - and no joy thereI tried the Cloud based repair - Gold StarEverything worked fine after that. Hope it helps

USB not working

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



This issue could occur if the flash drive is damage or Windows USB root hub is not working as expected, you can try the troubleshooting steps below to further narrow down to the root cause of the issue.

1. May I know, if the USB is working on another computer?
   
2. Which version of Windows is installed on the computer?
   
3. Are you aware of any recent changes made on the computer?
   

I suggest you to check the article
USB devices may stop functioning correctly when multiple devices connected to the same USB hub go
into selective suspend, follow the steps on this article and check if this helps you.



If you don’t have any data concern, you can
format the USB from disk manager (Applicable for Windows 10), check the topic
To format an existing partition (volume) from the article, however you will have to perform this steps on your USB drive. So, make sure the USB is connected when you perform the format, please be careful to select the USB drive, if the steps
is performed on wrong drive the data on the drive will be wiped.



If you still face the issue, please reply to this post with more information.

USB boot for bios update

Did the first step. It already doesn't work. Note the capacities and drive letters M:/N: The HP utility is about to format my raid-1 volume containing my 2 750gb drives. It thinks it's the usb stick. I can not select any other drives in the HP utility. My 512mb usb stick is U:.

Any other suggestions?

 

USB 3.0 is not working

I have tried below all the steps bu my both USB 3.0 are not working.

Please suggest more to add on.

I understand that the USB port is not working. 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 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 drivers by following the steps provided in the article mentioned below.
