I had a USB2 port on the front panel that was working for a year but then one day it was not.
I uninstalled / installed the device via Control Panel for both of the USB Composite Device listings but it made no difference. I thought it may be a bad connection but everything looked OK. Both ports had power according to a USB digital voltmeter.
On the motherboard I moved the cable going to the front panel from one of the USB 2.0 Headers to the other Header & everything worked. At least for a couple months. Now the same port on the front panel does not work again.
So I uninstalled / installed both USB Composite Device listings but it made no difference. Under Properties it says they are working properly.
In Control Panel I did not touch the USB controllers for either USB 3.0 listing or for the USB Printing Support.
The port was working several days ago but now it is not. The only thing that really happened lately was a Windows 10 Security Update that was installed on 10-27-2022.
Anything is possible but it seems strange that the same front panel port stopped working no matter which mobo header is used. Is it possible that one of my USB thumb drives is going bad & when plugged in is shorting out something on the motherboard?
Any ideas & suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
