USB Port Fixer

Every now and then, you may get a USB not recognized error message when attempting to plug in your mouse, keyboard, camera or other devices. If the problem persists after you rebooted your computer, then there is a chance that the issue is related to out-of-date drivers or a possible conflict between two connected USB devices.

USB Port Fixer is a lightweight utility designed to correct several causes that are generally responsible for the time when the USB cannot read, write or recognize the device you connect.

The app is portable and hence, does not entail installation, but rather you can decompress the archive in any desired location on your hard drive. Upon launch, you are welcomed by a pop-up window that presents a summary of what the tool does and prompts you to save your work.

As indicated in the message, you can restart the computer right away or the program does not automatically in 60 seconds once you launched the tool. There is no need to configure the app as everything is done automatically.

Following the reboot of your system, you can open the Device Manager, navigate to the Universal Serial Bus controllers and determine whether the ports are being recognized. Basically, you should be able to view all associated USB ports along with the Root Hub functional and without that exclamation point that indicates an unknown device.

While not a major drawback, since it attempts to resolve issues fast enough, it would have been nice if the utility allowed viewing all ports along with the associated issues that can prevent them from functioning.

In the eventuality that you are having troubles connecting your gadgets to the computer, despite the fact that the USB cables are working fine, then you can consider using USB Port Fixer to address multiple issues that are generating the errors or problem.
