I have a faulty USB Port

How can I fix a faulty USB Drive?

No matter what drive I insert into the USB port, nothing appears.

All the other ports are working fine except one of the front ports. there are no wiring problems I can see, however, I am not a techie.

Hi David,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Regrets the inconvenience caused.

If your USB does not work after you plug it in, it’s probably because of one of the following causes:

• Windows can’t find a driver for the USB device.
• Windows doesn't recognize the USB device.
• There's a problem with the device
• The driver for the device is faulty
• The device isn't getting enough power
• The USB port is defective

Suggest you to check and install all latest and compatible windows 10 drivers from Manufacture's website for your device. Most probably it will fix the issue.

You can check the driver status under General tab, in device Manager. If you suspect that a driver is faulty, contact the manufacturer.

Hope this will address your query.
