My laptop has two USB ports, but one is broken, so I use a USB hub in the other good USB port. In that USB hub, I use a mouse and keyboard. Suddenly, that USB port doesn't detect the mouse and the keyboard (even with the light of the hub is on), and the only solution that I found is restarting the laptop. But just some minutes and the keyboard and mouse goes undetected again...
Is there some method, software, etc. to "restart/repair" the USB port without restarting the PC?
is it possible to disable a hub that is running your keyboard / mouse (internal or external) thus making it impossible to restart the hub again? I guess not otherwise somebody would have said so by now....... or maybe that can't with no keyboard?... – Simon – 2016-09-20T00:08:26.680
Unplug then replug is the best solution, if possible. Restarting the computer as well as disabling then enabling the USB device may not fix all the problems, as the device stays powered the whole time. – user276648 – 2018-10-15T02:24:31.693
