Windows 10: Windows update caused disabled all of my usb ports.

Hello Mirosoft team,After the recent update, I am unable to use any usb ports on my desktop pc. Due to this issue, I cannot sign into my computer since I cannot use my mouse or keyboard. I'm also unable to start safe mode by shutting down the computer three times during the loading dots. Is there anything I can do to get back into my computer? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,Cal

Windows 10 Update causes some USB ports to fail

Hi Dave,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

I will definitely assist you with the issue.

This could be due to the USB port driver is outdated. Let’s try simple troubleshooting steps and check if it helps to resolve the issue. I recommend you to uninstall and reinstall the USB port driver and check. Follow the below information provided.

• 
  Press Windows key + X and click on
  Device manager.
  
• 
  Locate for Universal Serial Bus Controller and expand it.
  
• 
  Right click on the USB port driver and click on
  uninstall.
  
• 
  Once uninstall is done, restart the computer.
  

If the issue still persist I would suggest you to contact to the computer manufacturer and update the chipset driver.

Hope this helps. If you need further assistance with Windows, let us know and will be glad to help.

Update disabled USB Ports.


Windows 10 USB 3.0 Ports got Disabled after a recent failed update try.
KB3081438 which downloads, but fails to install [HERE]

The ports are powered since i can connect my mobile to the 'disabled' ports and yet charge the device but cannot do any data transfer. But the USB 2 Port works fine without any problems. And this only happens in Windows since i tried booting using a live linux USB and it worked just fine, so this is a software issue with windows and I need to figure it out.

// I have already tried the basics like checking the settings in Device manager/Uninstalling the device and rebooting and other common trouble shooting tips form the net. Since there are no relevant solutions for windows 10 Problems yet on the net this is a place to start. //

Solved : Resolved the issue by manually Installing the Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller all ports working fine now.
Step 2 : Go to Device manager -> System Devices -> eXtensible Host Controller and Update that. That will fix that.
