Workaround for USB devices not getting detected in Vista after Windows update
Recently there was an update released by Microsoft that caused a disaster for USB devices. Microsoft is yet to release a fix for it and we hope there will be one soon. The main cause seems to be KB938371, a prerequisite hotfix that gets installed from windows update. Also there’s some people saying this similar incident is also caused by a recent windows defender update.(not officially proved)
The main problem the users face is that their USB devices such as flash drives,cameras,scanners,mice,keyboards …etc.. doesn’t get recognized after the update and that specific hotfix cannot be uninstalled from windows.
Alright so if you are having similar issues use the following workaround until Microsoft can get this sorted out.(keep in mind that it may work for some and not for some…that’s windows.. hehe)
