I've been dealing with this for a few years now, coming back to the problem and trying to correct it. I've already tried uninstalling the driver in the device manager but it did not fix my issue.
So here it goes...
I bought some fast charge 3.0 USB (5Gbps/3A) type-A to type-C cables from amazon, and used them on two of my USB ports on my laptop. Now I can no longer use 2.0 USB devices but I can still use 3.0 USB devices in those two ports. I have torn apart the laptop and don't see any damage to the circuit board, nor do I see any damage inside the port. I would think since the port still reads 3.0 USB devices it did not get fried anyways. The only thing that was plugged into the cable while connected to my computer was my phone. The phone did not get damaged, and I can still charge the phone through these bad ports, although the fast charge doesn't seem to work (probably because the cable is a 3.0 USB). The cable seems to be finicky while plugged into my phone, since type-C's are able to be flipped, I've tried both sides and the results vary quite a bit. sometimes it says the connection is incomplete for both sides, sometimes it's only one side and occasionally it's able to get a data connection and ask what type of device I want the phone to act as. This might not be as pertinent to my computer port problem, since it's the end that connects to the phone, but I like to give details.
I'm hoping someone has some intel to offer that could fix this solution.
TIA!
