Windows 10: Windows 10 - USB 3 drives not recognised since update of USBXHCI

Ever since the USBXHCI driver was updated I have been having issues using external USB 3 drives or usb sticks.


I have a Samsung T5 usb type c drive that was working fine for 6 months. But since the update, if I plug in via USB type c cable, then the drive light comes on, but the drive does not show up in windows explorer or device manager. If I plug the same drive in via a type C to type A cable to a USB 3 port the same problem. If I plug in to a USB 2 port then the drive shows up, but is obviously slower than it should be.


I also have a USB 3 type A thumb drive, that if I plug in to a USB 3 port it sometimes works, some times doesn't. But plugged in to USB 2 port it always works.


I have tried every suggestion I could find, but none have worked:

• In device manager unistalled the USB 3.1 and USB 3.0 devices, and then restarted. Windows then reinstalls the device, but the same behaviour.
• I've turned off power manager management on the device, and in the power settings.
• Looked for new updates to drivers.

This is a desktop with an AsRock Z370 Extreme 4 motherboard running Widows 10 professional. The date on C:\Windows\System32\drivers\USBXHCI.SYS is 20 March 2020


I see some errors:

Any ideas?


Is there any way to get official support from Microsoft?

USB Drives not recognised in Windows 10


I have just updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and when I plug in a any USB drives are not recognised.

I have tried a USB stick which worked but not drives do not.

Any suggestions as all worked in Windows 7.

Thank you.

 

Installing windows off of a USB stick

Step By Step from vista:
From admin cmd prompt

1. diskpart
1a. list disk
2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
3. clean
4. create partition primary
5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
6. active
7. format fs=fat32
8. assign
9. exit

Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

And that's it, boot off your usb disk

 

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Here's a good step by step guide on doing a fresh install.
