Usb ports not working after drivers update

[Ken Dunn]

Recently Driver Booster updated drivers on my computer without asking me. And now my rear usb ports not recognizing my external hard drive. I`ve tried to roll back all drivers manually, but it did not work. Probably i`m noit able to find all the drivers that were updated. I have tried a system restore, but it fails. What do i do now? see system info in a file attached.

Did you try doing this method earlier? if not you mention that you tried it manually by going to device manager? by the way do you see any icon with a question mark and also with caution sign?

if you want to download the drivers, try to look for your motherboard name and after that download it on the manufacturers website.

Thanks for the prompt reply - actually the post was made on my behalf (via a techie) so I'll pass it on & see if that was what he did & post a reply - again many thanks (Ken)

Hi Ken

 

I am assuming you used the Driver Booster roolback feature. If so, then I recommend instead going to Start/control pane/system/hardware/device manager

Then scroll down the list until you see Universal Serial Bus Cotrollers. Expand this and you will see all your Usb;s listed. If there is an issue with one you may see it highlighted or see a question mark next to it.

If you right click on the suspect one and select Properties another window will open. There you can select Driver. This will give details of the driver and also the option to Rollback the driver.

If this does not resolve the issue, at least it will give you the details of the driver and you can go the the correct site to get the correct driver.

 

However, if you have already given your pc to a "Techie" your chances of of success are diminishing, as most Techies rarely go to such efforts and usually

take the easy road of reformattig or reinstalling.

@Ken Dunn,

Sorry for the inconvenience.

According to your report file, we found you only used Driver Booster to update Intel® 8 Series/C220 Series SMBus Controller - 8C22, which normally will not cause the USB problem. Anyway, you can go to Device Manager >> find and right click Intel® 8 Series/C220 Series SMBus Controller - 8C22>> choose Uninstall >> Reboot PC. See if everything is normal or not. (Note: During the uninstall process, please make sure to tick 'Delete the Driver software for this device'.)

If the problem remains, it shows that the problem was not caused by Driver Booster, we suggest you contact GIGABYTE H81M-S2H or Microsoft Support to see if they can help.

Thanks for your work.

I also had an issue with the usb 3.0 port in the back of the PC house (not the front side). I cannot use there my external 320 GB hard drive, but other ports are working and can see it. I tried to re-install the original drivers from the Gigabyte GA-Z97P-D3 motherboard website, but it did not help. Tried to find other solutions, but I am out of ideas. Now I attached the required zip file. I hope you can say something to solve this problem. Thank you!

I made it, but I think I cannot roll it back because I used Driver Booster a few months ago and since then I have tried several re-installs. Perhaps it is not caused by Driver Booster, but my motherboard (and it has a defect).
