Windows 10: Windows not showing up usb menus automatically

Hi, I'm using Windows 11 Pro 64 bit and my pc has many usb ports, recently, when I try to plug some usbs, it does not detect it that well, I have to go to Device Manager and Scan for Hardware changes, it does work with some, not all of them, can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.Winver info:Version 22H2 OS Build 22621.608

Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
What do you think?

 

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

 

USB ports not working in Windows 10

Hello,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



To address your concern, kindly help us with the following questions:

1. What is the make and model of your computer?
2. Do you see any error in the device manager when the USB is connected?
   

Before we troubleshoot on the issue, I would suggest you to check if the USB devices work on a different computer. If it does, kindly try the steps listed below and see if it works.



Method 1: I would suggest you to follow the steps to diagnose and repair the USB ports from the article -
Automatically diagnose and fix Windows USB problems.

Method 2: Update USB controllers.

• Right click on the Start menu and select
  Device Manager from the list.
• Narrow down to Universal Serial Bus controllers and update all the USB drivers.
  
• To update the drivers, right click on the each driver and select
  Update driver.
• If that doesn't resolve the issue, I would suggest you to uninstall all the USB drivers from the Device Manager.
  
• Restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically scan for hardware changes and reinstall all the USB root hubs that you uninstalled.

Method 3: Disable Selective Suspend feature.

• Right click the Windows icon on the taskbar and choose ‘Power Options’. Click
  ‘Change Plan Setting’ on your current plan.
• Choose ‘Change Advanced Power Setting’ on the chosen plan.
• Disable ‘USB Selective Suspend Setting’ under
  ‘USB Settings’.

If the issue persists, identify if the USB drive is listed in Disk Management. To do that,

• Right-click on Windows icon and select Disk management and find if the USB drive shows up there.
