I fixed some issues on my of and now when the pc is off the USB ports remain on. Is there anyway where I can turn them off without ungplugging them ex: I have some USB lights for my pc and they are always on now same for my mouse lights.
View 1 RepliesA client brought his desktop into us with the following issue:A few months back he upgraded to Windows 10 without any issues. A few days ago his mouse and keyboard stopped working (both are USB). He brought the machine into us and I took a look at it. I found that, and I thought this would resolve it, he had a bad hard drive and cloned it. I installed the new hard drive and the PC booted back into window with no issues except that I still don't have any working USB ports. The PC only has USB Ports, no PS/2 Ports. No matter what USB port I plug a mouse or keyboard into it does not register. I suspect it could be a driver issue, but I can't access the PC at all to check. I want to try and avoid doing a backup and reinstall of windows if possible.
View 9 RepliesAfter the windows 10 upgrade, usb ports are not working. System detects a device. I can see the device in device manager, but no icons are displayed in file explorer. I cannot open any of the external usb storage device or print from a printer connected via usb port.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to install a generic text printer onto a windows 10 tablet but when the printer is paired through Bluetooth the Com port it is using is way beyond the normal Com port numbers.
After the printer is paired I would normally add a local/networked printer and select the same port as the Bluetooth device, when this is in the range 1-4 that is fine, but (due to repeated attempts) it is now up at Com19
I have looked online and found articles for Windows7 talking about uninstalling the un-used Com ports (that windows thinks are being used) but I'm not sure how to reach the same areas in Windows 10
I have so far tried the following:
1. turning it off and on again
2. using device manager, view ports, under the view menu setting 'Show hidden devices' but I can only see the two latest ports (19/20)
3. I have looked at the properties of port 19 and tried to change the port number, but this is where it says all ports from 1-18 are in use.
4. I have tried to follow win7 instructions that directed my to advanced system properties and the environmental variables/system variables - this section I can't find in windows 10 ....
The only other option seems to be hacking the registry, which I will now look at....
I tried to use a USB headset plugged into my keyboard's spare USB port. I found it didn't work and at first I thought it was an audio issue, but trying to connect my kindle via that port didn't work either. I then tried using the USB ports on my monitor and found neither device worked on those ports either.
The ports on the front and back of my computer tower are working fine, but no device is working or even being noticed by the computer when plugged into any 'hub' ports. This occurred without a restart from the time I was listening to a video via headphones via the keyboard port just an hour before the problem occurred, and I'm not aware of any driver or app changes in that time.
I've tried avast, malwarebytes, plenty of restarts, checking legacy USBs weren't somehow disabled in BIOS, updating every driver I can think of via Device Manager, manually and even with 'DriverEasy' for good measure. I tried each of those steps both before AND after a system restore rollback to Friday. I also tried CCleaner, and of course over twenty restarts at this point. Device Manager looks like this right now: [URL] ......
I can't get that alerted Multimedia Audio Controller to update despite reinstalling my audio card drivers and realtek several times each now, but audio isn't the problem, just a symptom as the speakers I run through my TV as a third monitor are working fine and so are the headphones when plugged into the tower. I don't think that's the problem.
I am having a weird issue with Windows 10 on my custom built machine. I have Windows 10 Pro version 1511. I just today started having this issue. I am assuming it was after the latest update because I had no issues on the initial bootup.
I fired up the pc, logged on like normal, and nothing out of the ordinary happened. Windows tells me it has an update installed and needs to reboot. Not doing anything important, I decided to reboot and get it out of the way.
Well, upon rebooting, it goes to my locked screen like normal. I click on my mouse to bring up my pin screen to unlock the pc, and the mouse won't work. I look at the bottom of it, and the optical light isn't even lit. Keyboard's number lock light is on, but nothing on the keyboard responds either. I turn on a USB audio interface I have, and it shows that it won't connected to the pc like it should either. It is like all the USB ports are dead.
Not knowing what to do, I hit the old reset button, and boot into my BIOS. Mouse and Keyboard work fine without any issues in the bios pages. Load back into windows, and I notice that the mouse's optical light is on, UNTIL it loads windows up. It then goes dead.
I tried taking a PS2 to USB adapter to the PS2 port, and that didn't work either. Eventually, after I leave it sit on the login screen long enough, the USB ports become active and I can finally log in and use it like normal. But it takes literally 5 to 10 minuets. I check device manager and it does not appear that any USB drivers where updated or changed.
So far, I have rebooted twice and the problem happened at both boot ups, but eventually the USB ports kick on and let me log in. After I log in everything seems to be working fine.
After doing a clean installation i just realized that both my usb ports and my bluetooth aren't working. I have tried downloading software to download those drivers but yet still not is still not working. I have updated my laptop through windows updates but still both aren't working.
View 5 RepliesSo I was messing with the services startup parameters and I managed to change something which is now preventing my USB ports from working. My kb/mouse lights up during boot and then goes off and stays off just before the login screen appears. How I could fix this without reinstalling windows again? I've tried all ports but none of them work .
View 1 RepliesSince the upgrade to Windows 10, my main monitor, a DVI-Dual Link monitor, has stopped working after posting. I Have 2 other monitors, one DisplayPort, one HDMI, both working. I can use my dvi monitor, if it is the only monitor plugged in, to use the BIOS, but after Windows Loads, the display goes black, and "No Signal" is displayed. Also, It is not the monitor because I could use the HDMI with the monitor for it to work, but to get the 144hz I need to use dvi-D
I have tried:
-Uninstalling all Video Drivers
-Uninstalling CCC
-Reinstalling CCC
-Refreshing Windows

I recently upgraded my PC case and for some reason whenever I plug in a USB device Windows doesn't seem to go with it. In device manager when I go onto the connected USB device properties it says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)". I'm currently running Windows 10.
View 1 RepliesI have upgraded my OS to Windows 10 from 7 and I can not see the PORTS(COM and LTE) in the device manager. I tried everything but don't know how to find it.
View 5 RepliesI am being bugged by a problem associated with USB ports apparently being intermittently disabled or disconnected.
The result is a cacophony of device disconnected sounds being played. It ultimately means the PC has to be shutdown. Occasionally a device connected sound will be heard as well.
I have heard that Win 10 is disabling or disconnecting USB ports to save power for tablets and such. Understandable for limited power availability but for PCs where power is always available this seems misguided.
I need to know if this is by design or can it be selected off via registry option.
Big gaming tower with ASUS MB, on-board sound, separate graphs card. I upgraded from Win7 to Win10 and everything went well for a day. Then my USB ports: 2's and 3's and my PS/2 ports too, went dead. Well, they have power but no communication. I figure I could reinstall an image of my Win7 and then roll back up to Win 10 but what is the matter is what I'm wondering.
I installed a fresh Win10 ISO on another drive in the box and that one works fine. The installation I rolled up to Win10 by invitation sticks on the Lock Screen and I can't enter anything at all. So, I can't get past the lock screen. All other USB devices have been disconnected except, at one point, a keyboard and then just a mouse, then just a keyboard on the PS/2. No joy. How to I can fix/hack/reinstall/etc the USB bus drivers? I think that would do it.
BTW, launching Safe Mode under my 7-to-10 conversion install makes the computer throw a "System Thread Exception Not Handled" error Wdf01000.sys Then it reboots automatically and I'm stuck back at the Lock Screen, well, unless I boot to the other Win10 OS on board, in which case I can boot to Safe Mode easily under that clean Win 10 install. That's just not getting me where I want to go. Might be time to just reinstall everything. Even the recent images I have are not what I really want. Win 10 was working so well for me on a Dell laptop I've been using since February.
I installed W10 yesterday and now the USB ports on the right side of my laptop no longer recognize anything. I don't even get the message that the laptop knows something is plugged in. There is a USB port on the left side of the machine that is working fine, but the ones on the right are ignoring me completely.
View 5 RepliesI just put the 1511 upgrade on (for the third time, but that's another story). I've noticed that when I open File Explorer I have a WHOLE BUNCH of USB ports that have nothing plugged into them... What the upgrade did, but these weren't visible previously. How do I turn them off?
And yes, I've gone into the File explorer options in the control panel and UNCHECKED "Hide empty drives". Didn't appear to make any difference...
I had recently clean installed Windows 10 on my laptop. Before doing that, all my drivers were working well except for WiFi - a problem since build 10158. Currently I am on build 10240.
When I plug usb sticks into the USB 3.0 ports on my laptop, they don't connect. It's not like the 'not recognised' problem. It simply shows no sign of connection like blinking its LED or any response from the OS. On the other hand, when I connect my Lumia phone in the same ports, it warns me of Slow Charging.
And when I plug it into the 2.0 port, it gets connected. Why is this happening? All of my device drivers are up to date. I believe its not a hardware issue because my laptop has two such ports and both of them have the same problem.
I have an ASUS laptop X751L.
Yesterday the USB ports and wifi stopped working within a couple hours of each other.
When plugging in a USB device the laptop makes an audible signal that it picks it up but nothing happens after that.
I have Windows 10 installed on it.
I came home from shopping and turned on my custom built desktop PC and it gave me a BSOD. On the screen it said "system thread exception not handled". This only happened once

The search bar, lower left on the task bar, does not allow input for searching. It blinks, and does not allow for a question to be entered. Perhaps I've turned it off, but would like it back on.

I always used to set the turn off display after 2 or 3 minutes, everything was working fine with my old PC but after the new PC whenever the screen is turned off i can't turn it on again buy using the mouse or keyboard.
This problem was while using windows 8.1 and after installing windows 10 pro the problem is still there.
Tried turn off hibernate solution but with no luck.
Connection with monitor is throw HDMI cable with the internal Intel 4600 VGA Card
My pc used to be on windows 8.1 and I never had this problem. Ever since I installed windows 10 I have noticed that it has been randomly starting up. I shut it down and then wake up the next day finding that it had randomly turned on during the night. It shows the log in page as usual with no signs of being locked, standby or anything else. it shows as if i shut it down and turned it back on again manually but i haven't. This only started to happen after I updated windows 8.1 to 10 so i dont think it has anything to do with the motherboard.
View 1 Repliesrecently upgraded to win10 and that went well.. However on the last update (I think) that went bad. My pc now looses all apps when turned off. When restarted, I have to reload windows live mail and re-enter my email account. All my contacts seem to have been lost as is my email history.I use google as my web browser and I have to re-enter all my settings here also.
When turned on, my pc loads quickly but after logging on, it goes to "preparing windows" which takes some time before it is usable.
updates installed around the time of problem are;
