Inspiron 3520 Won't Recognize USB Ports-happened tome recent

I was shocked a couple of days ago when I found out that my usb would no longer be recognized in any of my 3 usb ports - However my external mouse is still recognized - so I tried deleting all usb -drivers in system devices as suggested in another forum for dell inspiron. After I rebooted same problem still exists. I blame this on a recent Bios Update as suggested by "Dell Support Assist" . Now when I go to Bios setup -Boot Sequence - the Option to boot from USB is gone because the Bios update deleted this - What do I need to do to fix and have the usb recognized ?

 I hope I will not have to Re-Install windows 8 just for that ?? - I have a windows 8 Re-install on a USB drive that was supplied to me by Dell - 2 years ago - this will be Pointless if I can No longer boot from any USB. please help ?

I already did that and the same , usb not found . What I dont understand is that the chipset Dell assist told me to install is  - Intel HM75 Chipset- v9.3.0.1021(A01) December 25, 2012 - but on the Dell site -it says - 10 Sep 2015.

I will try the live chat ..

All the technician suggested was the System restore - Unfortunately the earliest point I had kept was 26/02/2019. I did that and the same problem -no usb recognized . So it looks like the Chipset update is not to blame. Most likely will have to re-install windows 8.
