Windows 10: USB not working / error26 - Maybe driver after installing Win10?

Hi

I recently did a clean install of Windows 10 Home.
My computer has:
1. standard built in USB ports (to the motherboard),
2. PCI USB 2 card
3. PCI USB 3 card

For some reason, only the built in USB ports work properly.
The USB3 card works with external drives, but no other hardware (eg .webcam)

The other USB 2 card seems to have a yellow exclamation in the device manager.
- VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller
- VIA USB Enhanced Host Controller

The 'device status' under properties says: "This device is not present, is not working properly, or does not have all its drivers installed. (Code 24)"

I have tried to update the drivers using Driver Boost / Drive Easy and it does not find anything more recent.

(The Enhanced Host Controller is a Intel ICH10 Family)

This is very frustrating as I need these ports - does anyone have any advice in order to resolve this?

thanks

:)

 

USB (MTP) not working, driver not installing

Android Phone was not listed but you can find the MTP USB Device option and it finally worked!!!!!!

Yep. This one worked for me, too! FINALLY!!!

Thanks, ChaD90!

 

Sounds like you do need to install drivers for the 2 Add-in cards. Support for the onboard ports is provided by the chipset drivers, usually on a CD that came with the motherboard or built into Windows. The Add-in cards may have come with drivers [mine did] or get them from the vendor's site.

 

Thanks - I assume vendor drivers will resolve my problem, however I don't know who the vendor is for these cards anymore as they were 'generic' cards, nor do I have the drivers that may have come with them.

I was hoping that given these are simply USB ports, I was hoping there are Windows drivers or other common drivers that I could download.
