@jglandaeta Welcome to HP Community!
I understand that USB ports on your PC are not functioning correctly.
Don't worry I'll try to help you out.
Did you make any software or hardware changes on your PC?
Have you tried checking with different USB devices?
Please provide the product number of your PC to assist you better.
Try updating the BIOS on your PC and check if it helps.
Please try the steps recommended below.
1. Open Device Manager.
2. Expand category “Universal Serial Bus controllers”.
3. Double-click the “USB Root Hub” device, and click the Power Management tab. (if there’s more than one USB Root Hub device, repeat these steps for each one.)
4. Turn off the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power option, and click OK button.
Disconnect all USB devices connected to the computer except a USB mouse and keyboard (if in use). This includes hubs, thumb drives, printers, and cameras.
In Windows, search for and open Device Manager.
The Device Manager window opens.
Double-click Universal Serial Bus Controllers to expand the list.
Right-click the first USB Root Hub in the list, then select Uninstall.
Click OK to confirm.
Continue uninstalling all USB Root Hubs listed.
Close Device Manager and restart the computer.
If the USB device that is having problems came with software and it was not previously installed, install the software now, following the manufacturer instructions.
Reconnect the USB device that was having problems and test it to see if it works.
Open Device Manager (Right Click on Windows Logo and Click Device Manager).
Now find and expand Universal Serial Bus controllers. Now right click on USB drivers and click Uninstall. Do for all USB drivers one by one.
Now Restart your PC. The USB drivers are automatically re-install and solve the corrupted USB devices.

Hi
I tried following the steps of the problem guide with USB.
With the diagnosis of the Bios, all port USB has work with the external disk 3.0, but with the mouse or pen drive does not work.
I made the changes in the configuration related to battery, the USB no work and the Generic Hub USB is not present
If the Bios Diagnostics error code helps, I can send it to you.
