RestartUsbPort

RestartUsbPort is nothing more than a simple utility. It does exactly what is advertised, more precisely restart USB ports that are misbehaving or registering unknown errors. It is a CMD-type app, which means you'll need a bit of expertise to run it properly and register the required results. Regardless, the program gives some information as to what particular strings to use for needed actions.

If you've dealt with CMD apps before, you'll have no problem. On the contrary, you'll most likely be able to have it running in a jiffy. This means that restarting the USB ports will also be easy.

The first thing you'll need to do in order to have some information upon which you'll act later is to request the list of restartable ports. Use "-l" for that. After checking the shown ports, decide which one to reset. This can be done by using the "RestartUsbPort [Port Id]" command, replacing the port ID in the specified area.

The application will require the user to access full privileges in order to work properly. Also, one can delay the reset procedure to a certain moment, calculating it in milliseconds. You can also extract some basic information from each USB port if available.

Regardless, this application is extremely useful if you have issues with drivers and other virtual elements that don't seem to communicate properly with your hardware. It could also be a great way to run maintenance on your ports from time to time, making sure these are functioning properly, as expected.

RestartUsbPort is an application that not many will probably employ the help of. While it can really be helpful when experiencing issues with this type of hardware, being a CMD app makes it scary to the more inexperienced users. Still, the offered functionality is helpful.
