I have had a similar problem and I fixed it by going to Device
Manager then expanding USB then select USB Root Hub and go to
properties select Power Management Tab and then uncheck allow
the computer to turn off to save power.  Do this for each USB
Root Hub.

Subject: [tech-geeks] USB ports stop functioning properly

Greetings!

About 12 months ago, we began having issues when connecting USB devices to our 
laptops and desktop PC's.  It didn't matter if the device was a USB Mouse, USB 
Keyboard, Flash Drive, etc, and the hardware mfg did not make a difference 
either (we have Dells, HP's, homegrown units, etc).  The connected devices were 
not recognized immediately, and the resolution was to open the Device Manager, 
right click on the problem device, and update the driver.  Unfortunately, this 
would happen every time the machine was restarted or a different user logged 
in.  With over 4300 students in our district, you can imagine the man hours 
spent supporting this effort.  We have researched this problem on the Internet 
and still have not resolved this issue.

Has anyone encountered this problem?  We would really appreciate your input.

Best Regards,
