Peter, Maybe something like this could be related to your problem.
I recently lost all my USB ports. They were dead. I let Windows 10 check for a better driver and it said I had the best one. So I went to the Lenovo website and put in my model and s/n, and it came up with a full screen to have me update the driver. Problem fixed! The moral of the story is; watch out for drivers.
