Windows 7 x64 only installs the drivers for USB devices that are plugged in upon system startup

Hi all,
I have a most unusual problem. On my personal desktop, I can only use USB devices that are plugged in upon system startup. If I unplug a USB device and then plug it in again, the driver will not install correctly. I cannot force the device to start and I
can't pick a driver manually. All I get is this. If I plug in a USB device and then reboot, the driver gets installed correctly and I can use it until I unplug it again. I'm pretty sure it's a Windows issue
but I can list the hardware I have if it is needed.
I have tried:
Running an SFC /SCANNOW as administrator
Uninstalling all USB controllers via device manager and letting them reinstall
Neither worked to resolve the issue. If this was a client's computer I would probably just reinstall Windows but because this is my main work PC it'd be a huge hassle to do it, so I'd really appreciate any other ideas anyone has. If I have to reinstall I
will. Thanks!

Hi,
Since the issue just happened for 4 monthes, I consider that some changes or updates may cause the issue.
Please also try to restore the system back to the point before this issue.
You can also try these steps:
1.Power down your laptop or desktop
2.Physically unplug the computer.  If it’s a laptop, remove the battery too.
3.Leave it disconnected for three minutes
4.Replug the desktop or reinsert the battery
5.Power on the system
For the reasons, you can refer to this article:

  • T440 - DWM service is crashing in windows 7 64 bit after installing drivers for USB Replicator

    Dear All,
    Good day!,
    This will be my first post to the community and looking forward for an expert advise on the issue am facing with Lenovo ThinkPad USB Port Replicator with Digital Video drivers in Enterprise 64bit running on T440, following are the details:
    Environment:
    Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit installed on T440 where all drivers are up to date for all devices though (System Update 5) tool.
    Requirement: Usage of Lenovo ThinkPad USB Port Replicator with Digital Video (M01060) which will be connected to . 
    Steps followed:
    Connected to the port replicator before installing the device driver. 
    Download and installed device driver from the link: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-73088
    3.    Issue: After installing the device driver above, system reboots and after logging back using the local admin account or any other windows account (DWM service) crashes along with any other software installed (Ms. Office, Lync, IE9, ...ext). Tried uninstalling the driver, rebooted and Windows runs smoothly again back with no errors.
    4.    Questions:
    T440 hardware compatible with Lenovo ThinkPad USB Port Replicator with Digital Video ? 
    Which USB version Lenovo ThinkPad USB Port Replicator with Digital Video has ? (2.0 or 3.0) ? did I missed some special drivers for USB ? 
    Any other links for the above driver can be found for Win 7 Enterprise 64bit ?
    For 3 days, am searching the web for a similar issue, found and followed all troubleshooting steps mentioned by others but none of them helped. I will really appreciate your support if any expert can advise. Thanks in advanced

    I have the same problem with my T400 updated to Win 7 pro.  Not happy.  

  • Is it possible (and as easy as for GPIB) to develop labview drivers for USB devices?

    I dont want to use GPIB at all, just USB.
    Thank you in advance.

    The best way to call your USB device would be through your USB driver. The third party device vendor should provide a driver (dll) that can be called from LabVIEW using Call Library Node.

  • My Windows 7 can't find the drivers for a plug and play wireless mouse and keyboard

    I tried it on Mac and a windows desktop it worked instantly. Please help me, what should i do?
    OS X 10.8.4

    The manufacturer is unknown because it is not a branded product, what confuses me is that my mac works with it. I plugged it to a desktop windows and it worked also. I looked for the driver it was using and found it in the windows system 32 folder. I then look if my windows on laptop have the same file/driver and yes it has. But still the problem is it cannot find the driver.

  • The drivers for this device are not installed. (code 28)

    I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and my 3210xi All-in-One is working perfectly but is reporting errors in Device Manager. I've done the obvious things -- I've downloaded the latest software from hp.com (the filename is AIO_CDB_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_141.exe) and tried to get windows to find a driver but can't seem to get rid of the message. There's also nothing useful that I found in the MS KB. Anyone have any suggestions please? Thanks!

    Hi,
    Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Run. the Run dialog appears,
    Type %temp%, then click OK.
    locate and enter into the HP Installation temporary folder, start with the 7Z characters.
    If you can see several folders starting with 7Z, locate the latest one.
    Click the Address bar area, then the full address path will appear,
    Copy the full path location by clicking CTRL + P while the path is selected.
    Enter the Device Manager.
    Right click the printer name with the error mark, then click Update Driver.
    Select the second option to manually locate the driver.
    Paste the temporary folder path and click Next (Keep Include Sub Fulders marked), the driver should be updated.
    Please let me know of any change,

  • What is the timeline for restoring sites that are down?

    Our website has been out of service intermittently since at least Wednesday.  Presently it's completely unavailable, yet we received only one email of a nonspecific nature (Wednesday?)  -I'm subscribed to email notifications.  When I attempt to log onto the Admin, my browser times out.  I've notified BC via Twitter @adobebc  Yikes. 

    It's back up now.  I assure you that it was not available.  I'll keep an eye on it.

  • IPhoto downloads the entire Photo Stream every time it starts. How can I stop this? Can iPhoto only download the photos on Photo Stream that are new only?

    iPhoto downloads the Photo Stream. No problem.
    I quit the program, turn the computer off.
    Next day, I turn the computer on and start iPhoto, and it downloads the entire Photo Stream library again. It just takes time for iPhoto to download the entire library every day. Can't it just remember the pictures it downloaded and just download the new ones?

    Both my computers do this. I tried to rebuild my library and even re-installed iphoto, but neither fixes the problem. Very frustrating.

  • Are there any Good File Managers Like iFile for Jailbroken Devices that are Free or Cost LESS then $34 for Mac?

    I'm looking for something that i can use to tranfser Video's to my Mac Mini. I have iFile for my iPhone but it's jailbroken so I'm looking for something that is Close to this that's free or something that's not Costing $34. 

    Transfer videos from where to your Mac?
    The Mac already has a file manager for transferring all kinds of files from virtually anywhere.
    It's called the Finder.
    You don't need third-party software to transfer videos from an iPad to your Mac either. Everything you need is built-in. Use iPhoto, iMovie, or Image Capture.

  • Why is firefox not available for android devices that are not phones, since android market insists on a mobile phone number; isn't Mozilla afraid to lose fans ?

    I own a Coby Kyros MID7024; it has android 2.2. However it is not a mobile phone, therefore it's impossible to download anything from the Android Market; it provides Appslib by default, and firefox is not available there (yet ?).

    Coby Kyros tablets do not ship with Google Mobile applications such as the Google Market or Gmail. It does not need to be a phone to have Google Market.
    You can install it manually. http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/7.0.1/android/en-US/
    It has essentially a Cortex-A8 (ARMv7 and 512MB RAM so it should work.

  • Qosmio G10-133 Drivers for Other Devices

    Hi peeps.
    Yes I know this is an old laptop. I recently had to re-install the software due to hard drive failure. I always have problems. Toshiba installed a new motherboard years ago with the upgraded video chipset Nvidia Geforce Go 6600. Since then I have always had problems reinstalling using original disks. I have never been able to reinstall the Qosmio Player and always end up with the laptop rebooting after software was installed and going to blue screen of death. I have now given up with the qosmio player and the install disks (Windows MCE) and just install Windows XP. However here is the problem:
    Under Device Manager I get a couple of errors:
    Other Devices states MULTIMEDIA VIDEO CONTROLLER as not working.........what an earth is this and where do I find the driver?
    UNKNOWN DEVICE as not working.................................what on earth can this be and what drivers?

    Hi again,
    I went and did what you suggested, but it can't find a vendor and the 2nd item is unknown. The "System" showed the following:
    System Information report written at: 02/13/11 09:19:59
    System Name: QOSMIO
    [Problem Devices]
    Device PNP Device ID Error Code
    Multimedia Video Controller PCI\VEN_4444&DEV_0016&SUBSYS_00011179&REV_01\4&AD1 B67F&0&48F0 The drivers for this device are not installed.
    Not Available ACPI\TOS6205\2&DABA3FF&0 The drivers for this device are not installed.
    I couldn't find vendor 4444. I assume that the problem is that my motherboard is different to the one my disks are for. To get the graphics card to work I had to download the drivers for the g20 model not the g10. (I assume that this is due the original being an nvidia 5900 and this board has nvidia 6200.

  • Windows Update installed the drivers for the wrong sound card?

    I need serious help with this one.
    It all started October 31st when I find that Windows Update lists an update for my sound card - a Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit internal card. I install it, reboot, and realize that my sound is not coming through the speakers (Note, sound was working before I installed this update. I'm not even sure if the sound card is processing to it). I realized that Windows Update seemed to have installed the drivers for the wrong sound card. It installed drivers for "SB Audigy" (it was originally SB Li've!), why they chose to be so generic - I don't know. I later find out that not even Creative's website has this updated driver, but apparently, only Windows Update is issuing this out.
    But wait, it gets even more frustrating.
    So I don't have System Restore enabled (big resource hog), and I need to go back to the older drivers. I originally do a driver rollback using the Device Manager, which made the drivers go back to what they were before - but still wasn't outputting sound. I think even though the older drivers were being used by Windows, the software that Creative issued wasn't picking up this fact and thought I still using the newer ones for Audigy. So I decided to uninstall everything and start with an actual driver installation executable from Creative's website (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe). What I found out was that if new drivers are detected, I can't actually install over them.
    However, if I uninstall the drivers using the Device Manager, it'll automatically install everything - the control panel, the preferences, drivers, etc for the new "SB Audigy" drivers that were issued Oct 3st once I scan for hardware changes. The reason I need to scan for hardware changes is because if I uninstall the drivers from the Device Manager, it'll remove the instance of "SB Audigy" from the list. This causes problems for the installer for the older drivers (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe) because now it thinks there isn't any hardware to install the drivers for (all because I haven't made the Device Manager actually discover my actual sound card, yet unless I press "Scan for Hardware changes" which as a result, will install the newer drivers from Oct 3st automatically. I hope this makes sense so far).
    So now I can't uninstall the newer incorrect drivers so I can install the older ones for the actual sound card. Normally I heard that you can change something in the new driver's installation executable to properly uninstall everything. Only problem is, Windows Update doesn't exactly tell you where it's downloading the driver/hardware installation files. I know in the Software Distribution you can find Windows Update stuff downloading there - but I couldn't find the SB Audigy driver update it keeps installing while "scanning for hardware changes" in the Device Manager.
    This was incredibly hard to put into detail, so I hope that it makes a little bit of sense. If you need clarification on anything please let me know and I'll do anything to help eliminate the problem. Just remember I have:
    Windows 7 x64
    Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit
    I think the only problem I'd like to solve is - how could I install older drivers if Windows keeps installing the newer ones even after I uninstall them? Because right now, I can't do much unless I know how to get rid of the installation files for the Oct 3st update so it won't have anything to use. Another way to rephrase the question is, how could I get the Device Manager in Windows to display my soundcard as "Multimedia Audio Controller" for as long as I need so I can run SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe which will then detect that there is a sound card that can use the drivers and install them properly?
    Thanks for your help guys, I hope we can solve this. Because I've done everything I could. Hopefully I don't need to reinstall the operating system just so I can have sound working.

    Click on Start> ALL Programs > Creative > Creative Audio Console.
    Make sure speakers are set to 5. if that's what you're using. I like to Synchronize with Windows Control Panel. Turn EAX to No effects, and/or turn effects to 0%. On the CMSS 3D Tab, turn the Mode to OFF.

  • Driver Utility Task Sequence Process/Examines all the driver Packages in the T/s, Although it actually should install only 2-3 Drivers for a particular Computer Model

    Hi,
    Although the Driver Utility Task Sequence is working fine as expected, i have noticed that after initiating the Driver Utility from from the Software Center it takes quite a long time to start the installation of the drivers and few Apps which are in chain
    I have pasted the log from a Computer which shows that it checks/Processes all the packages which are in the T/s and that is where it spends the time, although for this model it has to install just 3-4 drivers
    Can we do something about this, to make the installation process just checks/Examines the drivers which are associated under its Specific Model Tree and saves time.  ( Fyi there are around 14 Different Models of Laptops/Desktops which are separated
    by folder and a WQL Query to identify the Model.
    could not paste the log file as its too long
    Thank you,

    Is there a specific need that you need to update the already installed drivers or is this just something that someone
    has always done and it will always be done? Give it a thought for a moment.
    We dont upgrade the already installed Drivers, its just installed when a machine is newly imaged / reimaged 
    so whenever a new image is being engineered, simultaneously we create a new T/s with updated drivers and that goes to production along with the new image release
    Thank you all for your replies, looks like the only option at this point is to workaround with splitting the T/s
