My laptop no longer uses USB devices. The moment you input in any device nothing is shown.All drivers are updated and there is nothing like a yellow symptom on them. How can i recover them? Could it be a hardware problem or software problem?
 
Try checking the bios to be sure usb is enabled. I assume the yellow reference is to device manager not showing any errors. Be sure to open the show hidden devices in the view tab to check those.
