Hello,
I vaguely remember this, but I think a while ago I installed some Via USB 3.0 driver and the front panel USB actually worked, but then at some point it stopped working. When I bought my components from pcpartpicker, they said that my motherboard does not support front panel USB, when clearly it has a socket for it. But, when I plug in the connector for the USB 3.0 to the socket on the motherboard, it literally does nothing. Do I possibly need to reinstall those Via drivers? Or enable something in the bios? Yes it's only one USB, but that seems to be one USB that I really need to use because I've used all my other ones.

Here is the PCPartPicker page: (The bottom of the page also gives me the note about my motherboard not having usb 3.0 headers)

Update: Changed link.
 


The link you sent me actually installed something, Going to restart my computer, and I will report back once it's back up.
 


Unfortunately, still no success. With the 8.1 compatibility, nor the win 10 version itself.
