Windows 10: Windows 10 MS Update Installed: (August 14, 2018—KB4343909) USB ports no longer recognised

August 14, 2018—KB4343909 (OS Build 17134.228)
Windows 10, version 1803


This update installs and all USB ports lose functionality. They appear in device driver menu but no error messages, system Health Checks show no problems, but any USB device "plugged in" does not read (is not identified by the OS). Help !! Uninstalling update fixes the problem. But Windows 10, Home updates automatically and cannot be stopped from downloading the problematic update. Need fix please.

USB ports no longer working afetr Windows 10 Nov Update

Following reboot after the Windows 10 Nov update all USB ports have stopped working.

All USB ports are powered but do not recognise any connected devices (wireless mouse, wired mouse, external HD, USB memory stick).

Do you have any suggestions?

 

Windows 10 installing progs

I decided to take the plunge and upgrade to windows 10 from 7. I used the Media Creation Tool from MS website. It took awhile, but I am finally running Windows 10 (12-14).

I opened the new App & Program feature to remove programs that I no longer needed. Scrolling down the list, I was horrified! Apps that I didn't install somehow magically installed themselves. Two programs stood out: Facebook and Candy Crush Soda Saga. Both programs have those tale-tale icons that they came from Windows Store (which I've never even opened). The install date for both of them were on 12-26.

Is this a common thing for Windows 10? Or is it because I did an upgrade and not a clean install?

 

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks
