Windows 10: usb shuts off randomly - formerly in Win7 today in Win10/11

In a post from April 2011 the problem exists till today...usb shuts off randomly - Microsoft CommunityPatrick W JonesCreated on April 27, 2011 usb shuts off randomly We have multiple computers Dell T1500s that experience the USB ports shutting off randomly. They will also randomly BSOD or reboot without warning. I have checked the BSOD dump files and it always seems to be USB related. For the random reboots, the user may be in the middle of doing something on the computer or just looking at the screen and it will go black and reboot. I have disabled allowing the computer to shut down USB

win7 upgrade to win10 using USB

Hi Dave,

I've been trying every way I can think of and following suggestions on the net but the Z390 just wont boot to win7 with usb support. Sure the boot works but there is no mouse or keyboard to go thru the install. Same as when I try to boot from the HD...
boot fine but with no USB for the keyboard/mouse. I've tried several including microsofts to add the USB drivers to the iso but with no luck. If I could get win7 up with USB for the keyboard/mouse I would go that route as that was my original plan... (I
didn't know the Z390 didn't support win7... until now).

Maybe I will try the installing the small HD and install win10 on it then maybe I'll be able to upgrade the win7 HD to win10 from that small HD. What do you think... will that work?

 

homegroup win10 not recognize printer & scanner on win7 computer

Thank you so much for the quick response to my problem.

my devices I am trying to access on the win7 computer are:

Printer: Stylus Photo R200

Scanner: Perfection 4180

I had these originally on my computer B4 win10 install. After the install they did not work. That is why I connected to my other win7 computer. The win7 is within my Homegroup and when I access thru win10 I get access to docs, picts, videos, etc but not
the above devices. Reversing this, accessing my win10 computer from the win7, I get the icon my Epson Workforce 310 printer which I set up on the win7 computer for printing as well as the above devices.

Went to Epson website on the win7 comp & found the recommended driver for win7. Did the same on the win10 comp to find drivers for win10. (Did not update these drivers yet.) Apparently they have 2 different drivers dependent on WIN version. Both drivers
are up to date.

Is it possible the drivers are not compatible and this accounts for these devices not showing up on the win10 machine? Don't know if win10 driver will work on win7. I may try to set these up on win10 machine. If work can upgrade win7 to win10.

I tried steps 1 & 2. Step 3, I know I have devices set to show on the network.

Any other suggestions/comments??
