Your USB ports aren't working
USB ports stop working because of driver issues, loose connections, or power problems. Reset the USB controllers in Device Manager and restart your computer. That fixes most port issues.
Non-working USB ports are caused by corrupted USB drivers, a faulty port, or power delivery issues. We'll reset the USB controllers, update drivers, and test different ports to identify which one has the problem.
