HP Spectre x360 - 13 USB-C Charges but will not recognise any USB Device

[lotushope]

My machine is out of warranty and I cannot seem to find a way to reactivate the USB-C Ports

I have tried 
 * re-installing the chipset and updating the BIOS

* holding Power and Windows + B Key for over 5 Seconds

* Using Windows Device Management, Scan for Hardware changes

Nothing seems to want to tell the ports that they exist on the laptop or even what Drive I should see to tell if its Windows or Hardware.  I can connect nothing to my machine and I am stuck with not being able to reach or get support even if paid to fix as the website takes you in a dead end out of warranty.

Hi @lotushope 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. Thanks for bringing this to our notice.

I see that you are facing USB-C port-related issues on your system. Do not worry, we are here to fix it.

May I know from when are you facing this issue?

Did you make any hardware or software-related changes to it?

Let us try these steps:

Install updates using HP Support Assistant

1. In the search box, type, and open HP Support Assistant. 
2. Check for updates. 
3. If the updates are available, click on install and restart the computer.  

Note: If you do not have HP Support Assistant installed, Click here to download the same.

Also, check for any pending windows updates. Reboot the computer. 

Right-click on each USB "hub" in the device manager. You may want to try uninstalling each device from the device manager, reboot, and let the driver reload.

If the issue persists, run a test on the USB ports:

1. Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.
2. Turn on the computer and immediately press Esc repeatedly, about once every second. When the menu appears, press the F2 key.
3. Perform Component Test > USB. Share the result on your next post.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
