Windows 10 Lenovo Thinkpad T420 USB Controller driver

#1 Post by thinkpadgeek91 » Wed Mar 16, 2016 9:56 pm

I desperately need this driver. Windows update keeps failing to install it and I can't seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone have it?


I have no USB ports right now and been battling this for weeks.


Thanks

I'm resetting my PC once again to see if if with fix it. I will update if the problem is not resolved.

Resetting the PC did not help. Still missing just this one driver. But it's quite an important driver so I don't know why microsoft doesn't have one built into the OS.

You'll need the Chipset drivers from W7/W8

You just saved my bacon and my Thinkpad's bacon. Thank you for some reason I could not find it earlier. I was just about ready to nuke it with Linux. Thanks for your help.

Honestly if Windows 10 is giving you this much trouble, switching to Linux might not be such a bad idea. :wink:
