Windows 7 users can run Hardware and Sound Troubleshooter also for solving this problem. But its working very few times.
How to access that:- In Windows 7 Start Menu Search Box :- Type “Troubleshooting” without inverted commas.
Troubleshooting Menu comes, now click on Hardware and Sound and run the troubleshooter.
NOTE:- This method is tested by me on Windows 7 x64 SP 1. Result comes 100% and USB working again without any problem. If this is not works for or you damaged something in your PC or Laptop, I am not responsible for that.
