USB 3 Ports Deactivating

[roadrunner38b]

Mine is still working but I have it connected to front port. As of setup not detecting usb 3 port. Skip that part then let steam fully install. So it installs watchman dongle .LHR . and vive Cosmos.. You can verify this by going to settings/devices in windows. Do not uninstall but run Cosmos elite setup again. USB 3 will be detected this time around.

@BlackOne - if there is a USB-compatibility it's  usually deeply rooted in the motherboard/BIOS way beyond anything Vive (or really any one single company) can externally influence too deeply. It relates to how the OEM is building their motherboards and programing their BIOS . Gigabyte is a reputable brand and I'm simply not very aware of any specifics to those motherboards as I haven't seen alot of Gigabyte customers with issues. I've seen the most issues with Asus boards due to their ASmedia USB technologies.

If you truley think it's USB-controller related. The best thing to do is to purchase this specific USB card: . This brand is recommended by Valve for SteamVR devices: Inateck Express Cards. It's one of those situations where if it works - it will save you from hours of fruitless debugging the cost of ~$20 and a spare PCI-e port.

I cant buy this card from Russia.

This worked for me all ports now work correctly. 

updates to the latest version of Windows, can sometimes cause conflicts with drivers and cause USB 3.0 devices to stop working as they should.
