I basically went straight from W7 to W10. I had a few W8 but on "unimportant" computers. So for me it was quite an eye-opener.

I imagine quite a lot of people are doing the W7->W10 jump which is why I thought it might be good to point out Restart <> Shutdown these days. This USB3 nuisance is a major bug and your place is the ONLY site solving it (and you have 47 pages of comments in the forum :).

Even I just learned about the shutdown/restart this last week and after reading your excellent instructions... I still was stumped a bit... I only continued trying the modded solution because I was lucky enough to have a motherboard that had a secondary USB for the mouse (which I switched to). Before that I was at the stage of "need to right click on .inf" using keyboard only, should I google how to do that (lol) using my tablet or give up :)". Even oldtimers are pressed for time sometimes ;)

In any case, great job. If you ever come to Finland you will be greeted with a personal Ale (or even Whiskey) bottle.

(obviously posted this as a working solution on the intel board as well - maybe they will get their act together :) )

You rock, Fernando. Between your modded Intel driver, the updated ASMedia driver, and the ASM1142 firmware on station-drivers, my USB dropouts have ceased. Shame on Microsoft for their crappy skeleton of a USB driver..

Have a cup of coffee on me, sir! Thank you

Hello!

I followed your tutorial to instal intel's modded driver but when I have to update the drivers for the PCi express ROOt I have 5 of them :/
Can you help me? Thx!

Oh man I am stupid ^^
Thanks it worked!

Have a nice day you helped me a lot!

I updated ASMedia USB3.1 eXtensible Host Controller from 1.16.38.1 to latest 1.16.41.3 This succeeded.I also tried to update the ASMedia USB Root Hub , this failed.
After reboot, the driver ASMedia USB Root Hub is missing ( version 1.16.38.1) from the device-manager. So, I only have the ASMedia USB3.1 Host Controller ( 1.16.41.3 ) left.
Is this OK , or went something wrong with this driver-update ??

@Pete12
I have updated USB 3.1 ASMEDIA driver without any problem.
Host first, then the Hub when yelow icon appeared at the top of Device Manager console.
I hope your USB keyboard/mouse were not plugged on ASMEDIA ports ?
You should have the both updated to get a proper ASMEDIA USB 3.1 functionality.

Updated fine, first Host Controller , then the Root Hub !

Fernando,
I just want to say a big "thanks" for the modded Intel USB driver. Using the MS Intel Driver I could not connect my Lumia 950 to my laptop. Using your drivers it works like a charm now .

Thanks for your great site, Fernando. I'm having trouble getting USB3 to work on my Asus P8Q77-M motherboard (7-series Intel) under 32-bit Windows XP. Device Manager lists a DEV_1E31 controller under 'System devices' but when I try to force in your modded iusb3xhc controller driver by the 'Have Disk' method, I get a 'Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)' error. After rebooting, no new hubs, etc. appear under 'Universal Serial Bus controllers', just an exclamation mark against a new USB 3.0 controller under 'System devices'. Am I expecting too much to get this driver working under XP?
