Windows 10: Windows update caused problem in USB Drivers

I use a Dell Vostro 14 3000 laptop. 2 weeks ago I restarted my laptop for an update. After the update, my USB ports were not recognizing the devices being connected. When I checked Device Manager, it showed this text "This device is working properly", but its's not recognizing the devices being connected through the USB port. How do I fix this?

Windows anniversary update USB problem

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

Suggest you to completely uninstall the USB driver and reinstall it to check if this helps.

Follow these steps.

• 
  Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
  
• 
  In the list of devices, you should see the USB device.
  
• 
  Right click on the USB device and then select "Uninstall".
  
• 
  In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
  

In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes”
option. This will force the computer to recognize any hardware changes. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

Reply with the status of the issue and we will be glad to offer our assistance.
