microsoft universal serial bus controllers driver download Universal Serial Bus Controller - USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller has yellow warning - NO USB ports usable. I have a GA-H110M-S2PH Gigabyte motherboard with a Core i3-6100 processor I built back in 2016. I installed Windows 8.1 back then and then I upgraded to Windows 10, all working correctly without a problem. Recently after a windows 10 update in August-Sept 2020, all USB ports stopped responding (even in my UEFI BIOS). Currently I'm using PS/2 keyboard and mouse as a last resort. I noticed in Device Manager that Universal Serial Bus Controller - USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller has yellow warning, i click on it and I see in the General tab: Device type: Universal Serial Bus controllers. Manufacturer: Generic USB xHCI Host Controller. Location: PCI bus 0, device 20, function 0. And in Device status reads: This device cannot start. (Code 10) The requested operation was unsuccessful. In the Driver tabs I see the following: - Driver Provider: Microsoft. - Driver Date: 11/16/2020. - Driver Version: 10.0.19041.662. - Digital Signer: Microsoft Windows. I did a fresh reinstall of windows 10 in the Reset PC options but still same problem. In the Events tab i see: - Device configured (usbxhci.inf) - Device not started (USBXHCI) I have tried everything possible, my last option will be to purchase a separate PCI Express USB expansion card but I'm afraid the same thing will happen. Is my Motherboard broken or what is the problem? Subscribe Subscribe to RSS feed. Report abuse. Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums. I understand that you’re facing issues with USB drivers on your PC, and I certainly appreciate your efforts in trying to resolve the issue. One of the things that I would suggest you to do is try installing the chipset drivers from the Gigabyte website and see if that helps. In addition, you can also try updating the BIOS of the motherboard. I would recommend that you contact the motherboard manufacturer in order to update BIOS. Note: Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.

This topic highlights the new features and improvements for Universal Serial Bus (USB) in Windows 10. UCSI driver extension Starting in Windows 10, version 1809, a new class extension for UCSI (UcmUcsiCx.sys) has been added,which implements the UCSI specification in a transport agnostic way. With minimal amount of code, your driver, which is a client to UcmUcsiCx, can communicate with the USB Type-C hardware over non-ACPI transport. This topic describes the services provided by the UCSI class extension and the expected behavior of the client driver. USB Type-C Port Controller Interface. Windows 10 version 1703 provides a class extension (UcmTcpciCx.sys) that supports the Universal Serial Bus Type-C Port Controller Interface Specification. A USB Type-C connector driver does not need to maintain any internal PD/Type-C state. The complexity of managing the USB Type-C connector and USB Power Delivery (PD) state machines is handled by the system. You only need to write a client driver that communicates hardware events to the system through the class extension. USB Dual Role support. USB Dual Role controllers are now supported in Windows. Windows includes in-box client drivers for ChipIdea and Synopsys controllers. For other controllers, Microsoft provides a set of programming interfaces that allow the dual-role class extension (UrsCx) and its client driver to communicate with each other to handle the role-switching capability of a dual-role controller. For more information about this feature, see: New set of programming interfaces for developing a USB Type-C connector driver. This version introduces native support for USB Type-C as defined in the USB 3.1 specification. The feature allows devices to use a reversible connector, a symmetric cable, faster charging, and Alternate Modes running over the USB cable. These programming interfaces allow you to write a driver for the connector (called the client driver in this section) that communicates with the Microsoft-provided class extension module: UcmCx to handle scenarios related to Type-C connectors such as, which ports support Type-C, which ports support power delivery. New set of programming interfaces for developing an emulated host controller and a connected virtual device. Windows 10 introduces support for emulated devices. Now you can develop an emulated Universal Serial Bus (USB) host controller driver and a connected virtual USB device. Both components are combined into a single KMDF driver that communicates with the Microsoft-provided USB device emulation class extension (UdeCx). New set of programming interfaces for developing a USB host controller driver. You can develop a host controller if your hardware is not xHCI specification-compliant or your are writing a virtual host controller, such as a controller that routes USB traffic over a TCP connection to the peripherals attached to a device. Your host controller driver is a client to the USB host controller extension, which is a system-supplied driver that follows the framework class extension model. Within the Microsoft USB 3.0 Driver Stack, UCX provides functionality to assist the host controller driver in managing a USB host controller device. New set of programming interfaces for developing a USB function controller driver. You can write a client driver that communicates with the USB function class extension (UFX) and implements controller-specific operations. UFX handles USB function logic that is common to all USB function controllers. How to fix USB not detected on Windows 10. A USB device is generally plug & play. You will hear an audio alert telling you it’s been detected and you can access it from File Explorer. Depending on your settings, the drive might open automatically in File Explorer and you can go through your files, or add some to it. USB not detected on Windows 10 [FIX] A USB device, regardless if it’s a storage device or a mic, will work with no trouble. If your USB is not detected, there are a few things you can try. 1. Hardware check. First and foremost, run a hardware check. Change the port that you connect the USB to. If you’re using a USB hub, remove it and try connecting the USB directly to your system. Connect a different USB device or drive to your system. Connect the USB drive to a different system. If the USB drive is detected on other systems, run through the solutions below to access it. 2. Check File System. On Windows 10, a USB drive has to either be formatted on the NTFS or the exFAT system to be accessible. If it is FAT32, it may not show up. Tap Win+R to open the run box. In the run box, enter ‘ diskmgmt.msc ‘ and tap Enter. Right-click the disk in the Disk Management and select Properties . Go to the General tab , and look for File System . If the USB disk is not formatted on the correct system, you can change it but you will lose your files in the process. 3. Assign letter to USB disk. It’s possible the drive hasn’t been assigned a letter which is why it isn’t accessible. Tap Win+R to open the run box and enter ‘ diskmgmt.msc ‘. Tap the Enter key. Right-click the drive and select Change drive letter and path . In the window that opens, select Change . Assign a letter to the drive and click OK. Remove and connect the drive again. 4. USB port disabled. USB ports can be disabled. If during the hardware check the USB worked on other systems but isn’t detected on your system, it is possible that you’ve disabled USB ports on it. All you have to do is enable them and everything will start working. Open Device Manager . Expand the Universal Serial Bus Controllers group of devices. Right-click each device , and select Enable from the context menu. Restart the system and connect the drive to access it. 5. USB disk content. USB disks are now the go-to method for installing operating systems and using boot tools. CDs and DVDs have all but disappeared. Normally, a USB drive that has an OS burned on it, or a boot tool can still be accessed from inside Windows 10 but there going to be exceptions. Open Command Prompt . Enter ‘ diskpart ‘ and tap enter. A new Command Prompt window will open. Switch over to it and run the command ‘ list disk ‘. Check if the USB drive is listed. If it is but you cannot access it in File Explorer after trying everything listed here, it is possible the content or the nature of the drive is preventing it from showing in Windows 10. 6. Ports disabled from BIOS. USB ports can be disabled and enabled from inside Windows 10 however, if they’ve been disabled from the BIOS, you won’t be able to enable them, and your drive won’t show up. Restart your system and access the BIOS by tapping the F2 or Escape key. Inside BIOS, go to the hardware or configuration (or similar) tab. Select the USB ports and enable them all. Boot back to your desktop and connect the drive. 7. USB Device not recognized. Sometimes, when you connect a USB drive, you hear the audio alert that indicates new hardware has been connected but you get an alert telling you the device is not recognized. In this state, the drive won’t be accessible. Disconnect the drive and connect it again . Make sure it is connected firmly to the port. The drive might need to be formatted and doing so will result in data loss. Open File Explorer and go to This PC . Right-click the drive and select Format from the context menu. Click Start and allow the disk to be formatted. 8. Locked and encrypted drives. It is possible that the USB drive is locked/encrypted to prevent access. If that’s the case, the drive should not work no matter which system you connect it to. The hardware check section will have narrowed this down. In this case, the only thing you can do is talk to whoever gave/sold the device to you. There is also a small chance that the drive is damaged. USB drives do not damage easily but they can be corrupted by bad software. Conclusion. A USB disk can be physically damaged to the point where it is no longer detected by a system. Most problems with these types of storage devices have to do with hardware or loose ports. In some rare cases, if you’ve bought a drive from an untrustworthy source, it may actually be fake and no matter what you do, it won’t be detected. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

This device was a WinXP, then a Win 7 and since the introduction of Insiders Win 10, Why should these drivers now disappear and it seems my laptop is in a state of risk? Overview of developing Windows applications for USB devices. This topic provides guidelines for deciding whether you should write a UWP app or a Windows desktop app to communicate with a USB device. Windows provides API sets that you can use to write apps that talk to a custom USB devices. The API performs common USB-related tasks such as, finding the device, data transfers. "Custom device" in this context means, a device for which Microsoft does not provide an in-box class driver. Instead, you can install WinUSB (Winusb.sys) as the device driver. Choosing a programming model. If you install Winusb.sys, here are the programming model options: Windows 8.1 provides a new namespace: Windows.Devices.Usb . The namespace cannot be used in earlier version of Windows. Other Microsoft Store resources are here: UWP app. Before Windows 8.1, apps that were communicating through Winusb.sys, were desktop apps written by using WinUSB Functions. In Windows 8.1, the API set has been extended. Other Windows desktop app resources are here: Windows desktop app. The strategy for choosing the best programming model depends on various factors. Will your app communicate with an internal USB device? The APIs are primarily designed for accessing peripheral devices. The API can also access PC internal USB devices. However access to PC internal USB devices from a UWP app is limited to a privileged app that is explicitly declared in device metadata by the OEM for that PC. Will your app communicate with USB isochronous endpoints? If your app transmits data to or from isochronous endpoints of the device, you must write a Windows desktop app. In Windows 8.1, new WinUSB Functions have been added to the API set that allow a desktop app to send data to and receive data from isochronous endpoints. Is your app a "control panel" type of app? UWP apps are per-user apps and do not have the ability to make changes outside the scope of each app. For these types of apps, you must write a Windows desktop app. Is the USB device class supported classes by UWP apps? Write a UWP app if your device belongs to one these device classes. name:cdcControl, classId:02 * * name:physical, classId:05 * * name:personalHealthcare, classId:0f 00 00 name:activeSync, classId:ef 01 01 name:palmSync, classId:ef 01 02 name:deviceFirmwareUpdate, classId:fe 01 01 name:irda, classId:fe 02 00 name:measurement, classId:fe 03 * name:vendorSpecific, classId:ff * * Note If your device belongs to DeviceFirmwareUpdate class, your app must be a privileged app. If your device does not belong to one the preceding device classes, write a Windows desktop app. Driver requirement. Driver requirement UWP app Windows desktop app Function driver Microsoft-provided Winusb.sys (kernel-mode driver). Microsoft-provided Winusb.sys (kernel-mode driver). Filter driver If filter drivers are present, access is limited to privileged apps. The app is declared as privileged apps in device metadata by the OEM. Filter driver can be present in the kernel mode device stack as long as it doesn't block access to Winusb.sys. Code samples.
