Welcome to the TenForums.

I assume you used the most up to date XTU utility. While I don't use it, is it possible that you need to update your chipset drivers and Intel Management Engine.

Create a restore point before going further so you can get back to this point.

1. You can uninstall XTU and see if, in fact, the problem goes away. Isolate it to XTU

2. When all USB ports not working, i've seen this work on occasion: Unplug computer. Remove battery if a laptop. Let it sit overnight. Plug in and power up in the morning. see if it helps

I would have to open my laptop to take out the battery and I allready uninstalled XTU and it didn't help🙁🙁🙁

Make a restore point and re-install your chipset drivers. If USB is being supplied by another chip, as is the case with some devices, to get additional ports, re-install it as well.

Did that and it didn't do it for me

Trying to avoid clean install.

Have you thought about going to your device manager, ensure you show any hidden devices, and

1) Review all USB entries to ensure each is working.
2) Note if there is a Power tab and disable Windows shutting power off. You will eventually want to enable Power Mgmt for battery life.
3) Try to upgrade each.

Failing this there are several articles on web about resetting USB ports, likely you've already read.
