All USB ports no longer work on Windows 10

[WYP]

Right. I just installed Nvidia's latest graphics driver, and now all of the USB ports on my system don't work.

So Windows boots, everything looks normal, but the mouse and keyboard don't work. Very bizarre. Unplugging and replugging won't work, and neither will other USB devices.

Have rebooted enough times to get Windows to ask if I want to reboot, enter safe mode etc. The USB ports work on this page. I have told it to uninstall the latest Windows update. I'm not sure if this is an Nvidia issue or a Windows issue.

I don't understand why an update would mess with USB support like this. So bizzare. Will report back if I can fix the issue.

Update 1:

- Uninstalling the latest Windows Update didn't work

Update 2:

- USB ports won't work in safe mode...

Update 3:

- I may need to go nuclear and clean install... I don't need this right now. Thank goodness this is a test system and not my main system.

- Will change graphics cards. Maybe that will work if this is an Nvidia driver issue.

Update 4:

Going Nuclear - Clean Install - Sounds like DLSS 2.0 testing will need to wait

Why not just ddu the Nvidia driver instead of a clean install?

Try to use DDU without a mouse and keyboard. They don't work in safe mode either.

The clean install has gotten the mouse/keyboard working again. Thankfully. Ugh...

You didn't mention it didn't. Just said it worked in safe mode so didn't know

Glad it's working

This maybe can be tried.

So? The thread had still been unactive for over a month... Plus the poster basically said WYP to do what he had already said he had done.

Does this thread really need to change into one about the definition of a "Necropost"?

Well, on another note, you could set up Barrier on the machine if you ever decide to try again - so you could have mouse and keyboard through another PC on the same network.
