How to Install USB 3.0 Drivers on Windows 11
Follow these steps to install USB 3.0 drivers on Windows 11.
How to Install USB 3.0 Drivers With Windows Update
The steps above will install USB 3.0 drivers on Windows 11 but won’t update them. That could be a problem if your USB 3.0 driver is faulty. While you can update drivers through Device Manager, Windows Update is the better choice. Some PCs will display multiples USB 3.0 hubs. Uninstall every entry shown before proceeding. If successful, the USB Root Hub (USB 3.0) will reappear in Device Manager. Reboot your PC if it does not appear.
How to Manually Install USB 3.0 Drivers on Windows 11
The steps in this guide will install USB 3.0 drivers on most PCs, but you may face issues if Windows 11 doesn’t recognize the make and model of your PC. You’ll need to track the drivers down and manually install them. Your PC manufacturer’s support website will often provide these drivers. Support sites differ between manufacturers, so we can’t provide step-by-step instructions. However, you’ll generally need your PC’s model number or serial number to search for your PC. This can be found on a label printed on your desktop or laptop. If drivers aren’t available through your PC manufacturer, or the PC is a custom build, you can try downloading drivers directly from the manufacturer of your PC’s motherboard. Download a Windows system information tool and launch it. Note the brand and model number of the motherboard manufacturer, head to the manufacturer’s support site, and search for the motherboard model number. This may lead you to USB drivers you can download and install.
