Problems with ASMedia USB 3.1 eXtensible Host Controller

No, the Installer will replace the existing drivers.

Since the last update I get Unknown Devices in the Device Manager and when I click on Properties I get this :-

The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

There are no compatible drivers for this device.


To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.

And in the location is this :-
on ASMedia USB3.0 eXtensible Host Controller

Can you help me to solve this

I have just had the same problem. Windows downloaded ASMedia Technology Inc - USB - 8/29/2016 12:00:00 AM - 1.16.38.1 and I lost the usb ports on the front panel linked to the motherboard and two unknown devices popped up in device manager under Software components. I resolved this by rolling back to the previous driver. Unknown devices disappeared and the ports are working properly again. Working driver is Microsoft 2021-06-04 Version: 10.0.22000.1

Where did you get that version from?
It's pretty hard to find a good working ASMedia USB3.1 eXtensible Host Controller driver.

Yes that is the latest one and works well as you have found out. Good to know that you have that sorted now.

Thanks for your replies.

I finished up with a Microsoft signed driver version 10.0.22621.1 and dated May 06, 2022.
I also saved, but not yet used the Microsoft Update Catalog driver version 1.16.61.1, dated May 20, 2020.

I was previously using an ASMedia driver, but I started getting GSODs when I was trying to update Windows 11 to version 22H2 Build 22621.1. The previous ASMedia USB3.1 eXtensible Host Controller driver was crashing the upgrade due to asmtxhci.sys.
