".may still have the original USB 3.0 driver they used at production" But still I cannot see the driver listed in "Universal Serial bus controllers" in Device Manager and the USB 3.0 still does not work.
Cannot install in compatibility mode also.Īs mentioned in my previous post, I have already checked the Dell website with my Service tag number/model and I installed the USB 3.0 controller driver. Moreover, when I tried to install the one (from your link), I get "Operating system is not supported". Maybe time to upgrade?Īs mentioned in my previous post, I have already looked into the intel link which you have shared and I did not find driver of my chipset. In the beginning of USB 3.0, each company created there own version of USB 3.0 Drivers they were proprietary drivers so without that driver it is possible that you won't be able to get USB 3.0 working on your notebook. Search through downloads for any USB 3.0 drivers
That will open all the hardware information on your Particular notebook, You should download and read your Service Manual there you will find out how to open your notebook To get this information you need to log on to support, enter your model number and most importantly Enter your Service Tag Number. Have you looked on the Dell Support page for your notebook the may still have the original USB 3.0 driver they used at production. If your chipset is before the listed CPUs it appears Intel has pulled the old Windows 7 driver so that not possible the driver above may work for you. Very likely your USB ports are not generically supported by native drivers, you might have some luck using the last driver supplied by Intel for Windows 7 Processor : Mobile Intel Core i5 2430M (Sand Bridge) - 2nd generation I am using the updated BIOS (2012 dated) and chipset driver from dell. I could run it in compatibility mode of Windows 7 only! I installed the USB3.0 host controller driver from Dell website (supported only till Windows 7) and still have the same issue. In Intel website, I dont the drivers supporting my chipset. Under Universal Serial bus controllers in Device Manager. Now, I don't see any "Intel USB3.0 eXtensible host Controller" I tried a lot to fix this issue from online forums before but still I don't have a solution. I have this issue for more than a year and I suspect it is due to Windows 10 update from Windows 7. My USB 3.0 ports are not working but my only USB 2.0 is working.
