USB device detection - Any way to reset it?
I have been wanting to find a way to reset windows 7 so when I plug in a device into a particular USB port it detects it as though for the very first time (installing device drivers message etc). Disabling or uninstalling drivers do not seem to instigate a 'new device routine'. Any ways of doing this?
The reason I am requesting this is due to a curious issue that I am trying to fix more out of fascination than anything. I have discovered that if I plug in a particular mouse on one particular USB port on one particular installation of Windows 7 (I have another install on a seperate drive for testing), the 'Allow this device to wake computer' tick box makes no difference (ticked or not the mouse click always wakes computer). After extensive testing, its only when that mouse is plugged into that usb port on just one particular installation of windows 7. I was hoping to try resetting windows so it detects that mouse as if for the very first time. Any ideas?
