Windows 10: xHCI Controller stopped working after 06 of December 2020 Code 10

Cheers to the great Experts,


Since Sunday all my USB Ports stopped working.


I use an Acer Predator Helios 300 G3-572 Laptop, with WIn 10 Pro on it.

In the device manager the xHCI can't start, Code 10





Sorry I know it's in German, but I'm using a german version of WIndows 10


I have Windows up to date.

My Bios is a little bit old, V1.10, the actual ist V1.22, but I can't upgrade. Because if I want to upgrade my BIOS, I need to set my Boot Mode from Legacy to UEFI, which needs a fresh install of WIndows 10, which is not possible, because I can't create an Boot USB Stick, because I do not have USB. Also even if I have USB Boot Stick, I don't have USB.


Here is what I tried:


- Unplugging and Replugging in BIOS, on StartUp, while WIndows is running.

- Reinstall driver, after deleting the device

- update driver Intel does not provide an extra driver for WIn10, because it's using the Win 10 driver

- Reinstall Win10

- Uninstall Updates

- tried to run Troubleshooting of Win10 Troubleshooting does not include the option for Troubleshooting devices

- Offering my Raspberry Pi to the IT Gods as a ritual sacrifice


Nothing worked.


I'm at the end with my IT knowledge.


Sincerely

code 10 for USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller after exhausting known fixes

My usb ports have "suddenly" stopped responding. After all diagnostics, etc., discovered a code 10 for USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller. Uninstall, reinstall, driver update checks still results in the same message. No add-ons to Class (upper or lower).
Still getting a code 10. Any suggestions, please?? Windows 10. HP Envy x360.

Troubleshooting shows all is supposedly working.

Thanks much!

usb xhci compliant host controller (code 10)

Darn! I was hoping you had a class filter (they can cause a code 10 error). But appears you don't (and code 10 can be caused by other things too, of course)

As for you m/b, i think you inverted a couple characters. You a GA-Z77-D3H? (not a DH3). Best suggestion is checking the rev level of your board, reinstalling the Intel chipset from Gigabyte and/or trying the Intel Driver Update tool. Though many USB 3.0 controllers simply use the USB 3.0 Microsoft driver that comes with Windows 10.

Wish i had better news. Let us know if you get it sorted out. Sometimes, at least the lesson learned is to reinstall and periodically create disk image backups to fall back on when needed. G;luck

 

Windows10 USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller code 10

Thanks a lot for your suggestions. All USB ports worked fine a week ago. This problem happened when the computer reboot by itself after I plugged in a USB 3.0 drive. The drive worked with this laptop a week ago.

Now when I tried to update driver by browse my computer, and select Let me Pick, and then the laptop tried to install the driver but failed. It says "Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device" and "Windows found a driver
software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it" and "USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller --> this device cannot start. (Code 10)." I am not sure if this points to a hardware issue or not.

For my computer, in Device Manger, under Universal Serial Bus controllers, there's only one item named 'USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller" which has the problem. There are no USB 2.0 Host or USB Hub that I may uninstall. I did not check what was under 'Universal
Serial Bus controllers" before I had the problem.

Any more advice is highly appreciated.
