Hi@rl01569, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Apologies for all the inconvenience!

I see that you have USB ports on that device since two aren't working, did you check if the 1 USB port or all the USB not working works fine without any issues  If not, please check with alternate components, and try the below steps to resolve the issue:

Microsoft easy fix solutions: Microsoft provides a web-based automatic diagnostic and repair application. Go to the How to use Microsoft easy fix solutions webpage (in English) and select the troubleshooter that most closely matches your issue. Then follow the on-screen instructions. If the device still does not work, go to the next step.

Windows Update: Running Windows Update checks for operating system updates required for your computer. Go to Windows Update (in English) and follow the on-screen steps to check for updates, and opt-in on all recommended and optional driver updates.

In Windows, search for and open Device Manager.
