Go to device manager(right click my computer, left click properties, left click hardware, left click device manager)

 

Go to the USB Controller section and click the + sign.

 

Starting at the bottom, USB Root Hubs, and working your way to the top, USB Universal Controllers, un-install everything in that section.

 

Restart your computer. Windows will find everything again and correct the problem one. Please be patient. The new hardware wizard may work 3-5 minutes before it's done.
