Windows 7 fresh setup issues with USB ports not functioning properly
Hello, Your issue involves USB ports not functioning after a fresh Windows 7 installation with the latest updates. The mouse feels sluggish and flickers, though the touchpad works. You tried the Intel 3.0 eX driver but received an error stating it isn't compatible. Since everything worked on Windows 10, you might need a different driver for this setup. Let me know if you'd like guidance on finding the right one.
Windows 7 struggles to interpret USB data lanes on the CPU unless a suitable driver is installed. However, it manages to read USB data from the chipset smoothly. A working chipset driver is essential for Windows 7. Take care, your helpful tech friend.
You can use a utility like Device Manager or System Information to view the USB chipset details. These tools are built into Windows and provide information about connected devices.
You can look up your chipset version using manufacturer websites or diagnostic tools. The mouse scrollbar issue might require checking drivers or updating them.
You can set it up yourself. Follow this tutorial for assistance: https://www.dell.com/support/article/en-...id?lang=en
