Hi @Ak2026,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand you're having trouble using the USB on your PC. Could you clarify if the issue is with USB ports not working or a specific USB device not being recognized?
If it’s a USB port issue, please try these steps:
1. Basic Hardware Troubleshooting:
1, Try Different USB Ports:
Test all available USB ports on your computer
Try both USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports (usually blue)
Check for physical damage to ports
2. System Restart Procedure:
Remove all USB devices
Shut down your computer completely
Wait 30 seconds
Restart your computer
Reconnect USB devices one at a time
3, Check Device Status:
Press Windows + X
Select “Device Manager”
Expand “Universal Serial Bus controllers”
Look for devices with warning symbols
Right-click problematic devices
Select “Properties” to view error details
If you still face issue please try the steps shared in the link to help you better
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
