N7110 USB 3 does not work after printer setup

Question

Hello Guys, I used to have my laptop with Windows 7. Once I noticed one of my USB 3 ports does not work and slow (like USB 2.0). It was weird because sometomes after reinstallation I find that port working. Then later it was unusable again. Now I think I have found its cause. I reinstalled my OS, now it is Win 10. Everything was running fine and for my BIG surprise every USB port were working on the right speed! Great! But. I had to print something. In the USB 2.0 there is my mouse so I put the usb of the printer in one of USB 3.0s. After I had installed the driver of printer the other USB 3.0 did not work again. The one which had not worked before. So it is the printer driver that fails my usb ports. (EPSON WF 7015). Could you advice something? I do not want to reinstall my laptop again. I have tried reinstall devices in Device Manager, restore system, windows update but none of them worked. Maybe a direct driver install on the USBs but I do not find drivers for win10... Thanks for your help. Best regards, Zsolt

I would advice re-installing Windows 10 and all updates. When that is working use Macrium Reflect Free to create a backup image.
