Good day nairalanders, I have a hp 15notebook running windows 10 4gb ram 500gb hdd (nothing fancy, just a basic university student pc) that recently developed an annoying problem. The USB port on the right which I think is the 3.0 doesn't word as a mass media device it can only charge my phone, as for the two on the left side, 1 doesn't work at all while the other can transfer data to only mobile phones but won't charge the phone or transfer to an external hdd or flash drive. Tried updating the drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling, etc but nothing works.
Basically the problem is: the USB port doesn't recognize other storage devices except from mobile phones. Please proffer a solution.
Ps. Can't format or reset the system, too much stuff inside
