I have been having a problem with the USB 3.0 ports on my computer.
This computer is a Windows 10 64-bit machine that I built in November. It has an Asus P9X79 LE motherboard, and an Intel i-7 4820 CPU.
A few days ago, I noticed that two external drives attached to the two rear USB 3.0 connections were not showing up among the listed drives. This MB also has a USB 3.0 header, to which I have connected four USB 3.0 ports on the front of the case. I found that my drives, and other USB devices, were recognized and worked fine when plugged into the front ports, but not when plugged into the back.
The first thing I did was check the USB section of the Device Manager. The USB 3.0 controller was listed, and there were no warnings (yellow ! icons) to indicate any problems. Since then, I have tried the following:
First, I searched for hardware changes in the Device Manager. It found nothing.
Second, I deleted the USB 3.0 controller and rebooted to get the system to reinstall the device. It did reinstall the device, but this accomplished nothing.
Third, I updated the BIOS to the latest version on the Asus website. I verified with ASUS that this was indeed the most current version. No change.
Fourth, I updated all chipset drivers for the MB, with the current files on the Asus website. No change.
Then, a couple of days later, the front USB ports stopped working. Checking the Device Manager, the USB 3.0 controller is now missing. Checking online, I found a suggestion that USB 3.0 might be disabled in the BIOS, so..
Fifth, I checked the BIOS settings, and found no way to enable or disable USB 3.0.
One thing that is very odd about this, which the Asus tech commented on, was that the front ports were working while the back ones were not, since they rely on the same controller.
Second, if I were to purchase a PCI-e USB 3.0 board, would it have its own controller, so I won't have to rely on the Asus MB for this functionality?
I installed Windows 10 for the first time a few hours ago. I like the new interface, etc, but I have a few problems:
Xbox One wired controller doesn't work. Windows 10 automatically install a driver for it, but it still doesn't work. I tried some solutions like this, but without success. I haven't that Microsoft Xbox One Controller entry he wrote about.
Xbox controller works fine with another PC. And these USB ports as well, works fine with other devices.
I am finding the correct driver for my SATA RAID controller which is operating two mirrored 2TB hard drives. The computer still recognizes the controller being installed at the BIOS level. But currently Windows doesn't see the controller card or hard drives.
Information on the card is; Sil 3124 PCI/PCI-X to 4 port SATA300
System information is: AMD 64x2 Dual Core 5800+ 3.00GHZ with 6GB RAM operating Windows 10 Pro.
All of a sudden my XBOX 360 controller has stopped working on my desktop. I will connect it to a port it will blink 2-3 times and then it won't show up on device manager or anywhere. It was working just a few days back. I purchased Project Cars and now am panicked since I don't have money for a wheel and can't drive with keyboard. I thought maybe it was the controller itself, but it works fine on laptop-lights up in middle and can use it with emulator. Here is my desktop specs.
GB z77x-d3h mb 3770k at 4.3 GTX 960 2 GB Windows 10 pro 64 bit with latest build 16 GB RAM,
Here is what I have done so far. Tried multiple USB ports on back of computer. No luck. Does same thing with all of them Tried to use device manager and scan for hardware changes-no luck there. Tried downloading XBox 360 controller accessories from MS. No luck there
Okay, I upgraded from Windows 7 64Bit to windows 10 Home 64bit.
Everything ran smooth and fine. I first get into windows (after the "Hi" screen and setting up apps screen) and I see my desktop. I install the latest video drivers first thing. I go to reboot and when It boots back into windows.
NONE of my USB devices are working at all. I had to use splashtop (remote desktop service) to connect to my windows 10 PC to be able to control it at all. Come to find out.
ASmedia USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller (3 of the listed)
and
Intel C600/X79 series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Controller #1 (and #2)
all had exclamation points in front of them.
I click on them and it is giving me a code 48
which is windows is blocking the driver from starting because it has known issues with windows.
NOW it was working FINE until I rebooted the computer. It has done this TWO times.
I try to update the driver.. it says I have the best driver installed.
I try to manually update the driver using C:/windows as the place to look.. it says I have best driver installed.
I try to uninstall the driver and let windows install it again... same results as above.. it just gets the exclamation mark again immediately.
I tried uninstalling, rebooting.. same results.
I tried looking on Asus's website for USB drivers for windows 10. They have NO USB drivers for windows 10 at all listed under my board. (Asus Rampage IV Formula)
Is there anyway to stop windows from blocking the driver? I also tried checking intel's website for USB drivers for windows 10.. nothing.
Also I tried installing the Intel Chipset Software that is listed on this site, though for some reason it won't let me install it. It keeps asking for SetupChipsetx64.msi, and keeps looking in a folder in which it doesn't exist.. and the .msi is not in the folder that you extract from the download either.
How are manufacturers this unprepared for a OS launch?
Macbook pro early 2011 bootcamp was not willing to let the SSD run in AHCI mode in windows 10, so I did EFI installation of windows 10. Everything seems to work but the audio card.
Code: This device cannot start. (Code 10) in the High definition audio controller.
I tried installing the drivers manually and automatically and from the bootcamp but this error persists.
Is the problem in the EFI implementation of the macbook pro early 2011 that windows cannot read , or is it related to drivers ? I downloaded latest videocard Intel HD 3000, and realtek generic driver. The audio drivers seems to be from currus logic.
On Bootcamp install (BIOS) the sound card works fine, but in EFI it can not start the driver.
Upgraded old laptop (HP Pavilion dv2225) to WinX and everything works except for sound. Device Manger (Win key+ X) shows no missing drivers for sound. Used to play AoK under Win 7.
I have just done a Clean Install of Windows 10 on my Sony Vaio VGN-NW21ZF laptop following a partition corruption while trying to repartition the HDD. previously it had been upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 and there were no device driver issues.
All appears to be working OK, but in device manager I have two unknown devices that do not have drivers installed. On is described as Base System Device, and the other as Unknown Device. Looking at Sysyinfo I see the following details:
How do I work out what these devices are so I can try to find the correct drivers?
Looking in Computer Management I see this information
I bought an XBOX One controller with cable for Windows from Amazon. When I plugged it in, I hear the new device recognition tone but nothing else. Supposedly, the correct driver is part of Windows 10 and nothing else was needed. But it has never vibrated with any game. I've tried updating the driver, even tried it on another pc with Windows 10 and no luck.
I've got a Logitech F310 gamepad. It has the button in the center, which is useful in Steam when in full picture mode. But Windows 10 is treating this as the "Xbox" home button and when I press it, it brings up the little indicator window with the "Click for Help" option. How do I disable Windows from doing this with my controller while still leaving the button functionality for Steam?
I upgraded to windows 10 today and I had no access to the internet .. I installed the KE2200 ethernet controller driver for windows 10 from here (standard driver): [URL]... but still no luck!
The windows 10 troubleshooter identified the current driver being the problem but couldnt repair it. I didn't copy the detailed results from this troubleshoot unfortunately but will do on my next Windows 10 installation attempt.

Need a driver for my dvd player in an Asus K53T laptop. When I upgraded to 10 my DVD wasn't recognized. One suggestion was to uninstall from the Device Manager, reboot and then hopefully it would be reinstalled.
Didn't happen. Then I foolishly signed on to driver shyster, which was an expensive failure. So, I'm surprised drivers wouldn't be available from the manufacturers.
After upgrade to w10 the sound via the HDMI port went missing. On this machine you press a button to switch from PC Mode to Game Mode, which activates the HDMI port where the PVR is plugged in. When viewing a PVR program (TV show), the video is perfect but there is no sound. I have updated drivers, rolled back drivers, & tried everything I can think of.(besides the PVR audio).I have an HP Omni 27 1055 Desktop PC.
I have no printer notification when I'm printing. In the control panel -> devices and printer -> printerserver properties these are enabled. I have no hiden icons in the taskbar. I tried in the windows registry the setting from windows 7:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERPrintersSettingsEnableBalloonNotificationsRemote and HKEY_CURRENT_USERPrintersSettingsEnableBalloonNotificationsLocal.
But this also don't work. I'm printing to and HP Deskjet 895 CXI on an WIndows Home Server 2011. On my Windows 7 Pro machine the notification is present.
My problem seems a little complicated so I'll go step by step what happens:
1. I plug in a USB device to use it (like a flash drive or a printer)
2. Windows makes the "device recognized" sound
3. Nothing happens, so I go to device manager to see if the device is actually working. It's listed under "other devices" and it says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28). There are no compatible drivers for this device."
4. I reboot my computer WITH THE USB DEVICE PLUGGED IN and all of a sudden and without explanation the device manager recognizes the device and its driver and I can use.
5. I unplug the device and plug it back in and it goes back to step 2.
6. Also, when I click "update drivers" it cannot find them automatically and when I search for the driver manually it just gives me an error saying it did not install successfully.
This is such a frustrating problem because it means I have to reboot every time I need to use a printer or a flash drive. I also have tried everything I can think of: uninstalling every last trace of the driver and trying to let it install freshly on its own; checking the status of Plug and Play; etc.
I recently had my PlayStation 3 system corrupt, and I had two options, to delete all of my data and start new, or go trough a long process to restore my data.
To restore my data, I need to change my computer to the SATA Controller mode IDE, but I can not find it in the system BIOS. The closet thing I can find is switching between AHCI and ATA, but I need IDE mode.
So i had this virus that was keep sending and redirecting to websites like - get money from this etc. So I wanted to uninstall but i uninstalled something VCI controller driver and now my keyboard, mouse are not working, I am on windows 7. I tried to put disk and try repair but it gave me an error...
I set monitor to turn off after 15 minutes and computer to sleep after 3 hours, none of that works unless i disconnect game controller, than it works perfectly. is there any way to solve this or i just to wait for microsoft to release some kind of update?
My friend gave me a wireless USB dongle to use with my Xbox 360 controller for my PC tower. For whatever reason, Windows wasn't recognizing the dongle so I forcibly-assigned the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller driver present in Windows 10 to the dongle. Now, I can connect my Xbox 360 controller, but I have lost all sound output. I have tried updated drivers, reinstalling, and disabling specific drivers to no avail. At one point, uninstalling this Creative sound driver(which worked earlier) made my sound work for an hour, but now my sound doesn't work again. I don't want to reinstall Windows and lose all the applications a friend downloaded for me.
I have an Asus x550L (?) laptop. I have been using Windows 10 for several months without issue until I noticed that my Bluetooth connection option is gone. I can't find drivers. I just want to pair headphones and I'm hitting wall after wall!
I have a Inspiron N5010 with built in Bluetooth (DW365). When I upgraded to Win 10 It no longer works. It does not show up in device manager or anywhere else.
I have found where some people have used a driver ( Broadcom 4.0 ) and had good results. When I try to install the driver It tells me to uninstall the old one. How to uninstall it when it does not show up anywhere on my computer?
I'm a student and my university has a subscription to Dreamspark, so I got a Win10 key, along with an ISO-file from there. I'm using a Lenovo G700 and trying to perform a clean install from a bootable USB-stick.
I have tried creating this USB-stick with the "Win7 USB DVD Download Tool", using different guides from the internet with NTFS and Fat32 filesystem, launching the setup normally and through UEFI, using the "Media Creation Tool" ([URL]) to create the USB-stick directly and downloading the ISO file first and creating a bootable USB-stick from that with all the methods above, but no matter which of these methods I use, I get the following error during installation:
"A media driver your computer needs is missing." (URL)
Unfortunatley, I am currently running Win7 Pro x64 on my laptop and the following page says, that the upgrade to Win10 only works from Win8.1, not Win7: [URL]
When I try to use the "Media Creation Tool" to instantly perform an upgrade, I get the following error:
"Something happened... 0x80070422 - 0x90016"
What drivers could the installation possibly be missing? I don't have any external devices plugged in, except for the bootable USB-stick, of course. I tried downloading all drivers for Win7 x64 and Win10 x64 from the Lenovo page ([URL])
