USB isn't detecting devices

[H20Burner]

My pc won't detect usb devices unless I plug it in at boot. If i unplug it later, it won't detect it again until the next restart. Think about a sata drive where you unplugged it and plugged back in without hotplugging on. Is there a fix to this?

hi @H20Burner

 

Sounds like that you're indeed missing the hotswap feature. Which operating system are you using? Windows 10,7 or something else? Checking device manager for any missing drivers will be a good start.

Windows 10, no drivers are missing so far.

Alright, Depending at BIOS there is sometimes an option to enable or disable hotswap for devices. Since when does the issue occure? You might want to check your BIOS for this setting.

Started last week. And no there is not a setting in the bios to enable hotswap or disable.

What kind of devices are we talking about? USB mouse, keyboard? phone? digital-camera? USB stick. Is the same behaviour with everything of the above?

 

 

Edit: also do you have other USB devices already plugged in?

Yes. I'm talking about mouse, keyboard, and mic. This was also happening with my audio jacks as well. I'm lasting on my monitors port since its the only one that works. Lots of weird. All usb devices are treated the same. No hotswap.

Do you get any error messages when plugging in USB devices? like this example (picture). or anything else, sometimes it will tell that windows is installing the necressary drivers.

Do you use usb extension cables ? if so they maybe too long and you need a powered usb hub. My pc would never boot with both my razer naga mouse and my razer keyboard plugged in for some reason even with out extension cables ,but it does now although i use a powered usb hub.

No directly to the pc.
