Windows 10: Wexner QC 3.0 USB hub suddenly recognized as display port

I have a Wexner QC 3.0 USB hub that used to work perfectly on my Windows 11 laptop. I was able to connect my keyboard, mouse and phone to my PC through this hub without issue, and without installing a driver for it.But recently, when I plug the USB connector into the PC, I get a message that the display port I just connected might be limited. This happens even with nothing connected to the USB hub. None of the peripherals connected through the USB hub are recognized or working, though they work fine when connected directly to the laptop.How might I go about fixing this? I have no other PC to t

USB Port Issue - Power Surge on Hub Port

I have no Idea, what i suggested you check is the USB ports on your computer ensure you didn't damage them. The Hub you smoked is smoked get rid of it.
You new Hub is it self-powered? if not you probably don't have enough power going to the hub to support many devices. The flash drive plug it into a port on your computer if it works then its ok and the issue is the hub. If not you can try to run chk disk on it maybe you can fix it.

 

my comp wont recognize an external 2.0 usb hub and shows no usb 2.0 in device manager

Hi Bob,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. What is the make and model of the computer?
   
2. Have you tried connecting on different ports?
   
3. Which version of Windows is installed on your device?
   
   
   

Refer the article Which Windows operating system am I running to provide
the details.



However, I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and let us know if that helps.



Method 1

Disable/Enable quick boot Windows 10

1. Type Power Options in Start menu search and press
   Enter key to open Power Options window.
   
2. Click on Choose what the power buttons do to open System Settings window.
   
3. Click on the link named Change settings that are currently available.
   
4. Scroll down to Shutdown settings and uncheck Turn on fast startup.
   
5. Click on Save Changes, restart the device to check the status of the issue.
   

Method 2

If the USB device does not display in Device Manager, there might be a power requirement issue. Disconnect the device and perform the following steps until the device is detected:

1. Restart the computer
   
2. Connect the device and wait 5 seconds. If the device is not recognized, disconnect it and go to the next step.
   
3. In Windows, search for and open Device Manager.
   
4. Double-click Universal Serial Bus Controllers to expand the list.
   
5. Double-click a USB Root Hub, click the
   Power tab, and then click Power Properties (if it is shown).
   
   
   
   Note: The Power tab displays only in USB 2.0. There is no Power tab in USB 3.0.
   
   Devices that are attached to the hub are shown, as well as the power that they require. If the total displayed power is over 500 mA, remove the devices and use a powered hub.
   
   
   
6. Continue looking at the power properties of each USB hub. If the total Power required exceeds the Total power available for the hub, then remove a device on that hub to lower the Power required number.
   
7. Connect the device and wait 5 seconds. If the device is not recognized, disconnect it and go to the next step.
   
8. Remove high-speed USB cables that are over 3m (9.8 ft) in length and use high-speed cables that are shorter than 3 m.
   Only use high-speed cables shorter than 3m in length with high-speed USB devices (multifunction printers, scanners, and cameras).
   
9. If the USB device is connected to a USB port on a keyboard, disconnect it, then connect it to a USB port on the computer or to a powered hub.
   
10. There might be an issue with the USB port. Try connecting to a different USB port. If the USB device displays in Device Manager after connecting the cable to a different port, then uninstall and reinstall the USB device software
    driver.
    
11. There might be an issue with the USB port. Try connecting to a different USB port. If the USB device displays in Device Manager after connecting the cable to a different port, then uninstall and reinstall the USB device software
    driver.
    
12. Consult the manufacturer of the device for support if the device still fails to display.
    

Hope it helps.
