How to know which USB ports of the Windows PC are working correctly?

USB ports, those unconditional friends that help us connect any device we want. They deserve both admiration and respect and care, and for the latter is today’s quote. Where you will learn how to know which Windows PC USB ports work correctly, in a very simple and effective way

Because everyone knows what works for a port, but almost certainly, we can say that most people know not identify if they are functioning properly or not . Even the most clueless, they may overlook a port just because they have damaged others and assume that they all work.

How to know which USB ports of the Windows PC are working correctly?

The answer to this question is simpler than you think and comes in two solutions, but before you jump right into them , do you really know what works a USB port?

A brief explanation is that it meets two simple functions, one is to service data or peripheral devices that we connect (accessing the computer, to view the folders as in the case of mobile among others). On the other hand also they feed such devices.

All this you just read works perfectly when the USB port works at the correct voltage for it was designed, so the first technique to know that USB ports on the PC Windows function properly as easy as solving games or fuzzy applications in Windows , is by USB voltmeter.

This device is connected between the USB port and other device has a digital display which immediately after connected tell whether the port is supplying sufficient extent required for the device to work (measured output voltage of the USB port).

There are many variations of these voltmeters, such as those shown tension or only those who are able to reflect to the amperage of the device .

Second technique: Third-party programs

They are often necessary when other failures are reported as error “the USB device is not recognized” and to enable the USB ports stop working in Windows.

Today there are almost for all third – party programs that meet the functions the user needs, the best in this case is called ” USBDeview ” and is very simple to use.

The first to install it is to go to the page Nirsoft, there can download the program which is free. Once you downloaded you will see that it is a compressed file, proceed to decompress it to display the executable file named ” USBDeview “.

Le Double das click on this file and you’ll notice that instead of installed, open a window to let you see all active ports on your computer, and also all recently used.

There is a lot of data given that the application is quite complete, but the one you need to know is towards the right side of this window, since, in one of the columns, the consumption of each of the USB ports appears.

Likewise we can click on each device to display a complete section, this need to look for the option labeled ” Power “, that is consumption that lets you know that USB ports on the PC Windows work properly.

What to do if a port is not working as it should

What you try to do if your port does not work properly is, reinstall the USB drivers, this you can achieve from the Windows Device Manager (if it is a problem of controller then this should fix it ).

If the problem is more bone physical hardware because there is no other solution than to use another available and if you do not have space for buying a device to expand (of which there are many to be the hub).

And ready, with this you know the best ways to know that USB ports on the PC Windows work properly . You can leave the information for yourself or share it with everyone, but the fact that already would learn is what really matters.
