A range of peripherals including webcams, printers, digital cameras, external hard drives, mice, keyboards, and scanners is connected to your PC via the USB connection. When these devices don’t work properly, you may need toreinstall the USB drivers to fix your problem.

How to reinstall USB drivers

There’re two ways you can reinstall your USB drivers on Windows 11, 10, 8 and 7. You may not try them; just choose your preferred one.

  1. Reinstall the drivers using Device Manager
  2. Automatically reinstall the USB drivers (recommended)

Option 1 – Reinstall the drivers using Device Manager

Device Manager is a Windows built-in tool that allows you to view and control the hardware attached to your computer and update the device drivers. To reinstall the USB drivers in Device Manager, follow the steps below:

  1. On your keyboard, press theWindows logo key andR at the same time to open the Run command. Then, typedevmgmt.msc and clickOK .
  2. Double-clickUniversal Serial Bus controllers to view the devices under this category.
  3. Right-click one device at a time and clickUninstall device .
  4. ClickUninstall to confirm.
  5. After uninstalling all the device drivers under Universal Serial Bus controllers, reboot your PC to fully implement the changes. Then Windows will install the appropriate USB drivers.

It’s easy to reinstall the USB drivers via Device Manager, but the drivers on Microsoft’s driver library are sometimes outdated (see why ). For an easier way to install the latest driver, you can go for Option 2.
