Windows can't startup with USB 3.0 port connected.

Hi,

I'm having an issue with my USB 3.0 port. Recently, whenever I start my laptop with my external HDD connected to the USB 3.0 port then it will be stopped at the start up black screen. The only way to solve it is disconnecting the USB 3.0 port then wait until Windows finished loading then connect it again. It only happens if I use USB 3.0 stuffs to connect, not those using USB 2.0 standard such as my mouse or old external HDD.

I tried to check the registry and update driver for my lap but the issue remains. Anyone encountered this problem before?

Is USB 3.0 enabled in BIOS?
If you plug in this same HDD to a USB 2.0 port - does it do the same thing?

Yes, the same thing happen too. I checked BIOS but didn't see the USB controller, normally it should be in Advanced setup though

How many USB 3 Devices do you use ? ... Would seem this is not a problem with your USB 3 Ports ...

As it happens when you use the USB 2 Ports too ...

I have 1 external HDD using USB 3.0 and one Anker USB 3.0 Hub.

I did, using the Advanced Driver Updater, but it couldn't solve the problem. All my drivers are up to date.

If you remove the USB 3 Hub do you still have the same issue ?

Yes, if any USB 3.0 stuff connected to the lap when it starts, then it will happen. Only removing them can solves it.
