Win 10 USB DIagnostics
-
Can anyone recommend a good USB diagnostics tool for Win 10? I'm having issues where my headphones will cut out, or I get random pauses with my keyboard & mouse. This PC is only a few months old.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

[USBlyzer - USB Protocol Analyzer and USB Traffic Sniffer for Windows](https://www.usblyzer.com) Other things to check are power saving settings (sometimes usb ports can be switched off to save power) and updating drivers.

Try running a Linux distro from a stick. If the problem doesn't occur then, it will confirm what the problem is.

Have you got a slideshow running for your desktop background? I found that if the 'change picture' setting was set to the 1 minute interval, then every minute the mouse/keyboard/pretty much everything froze. Setting it to 10 minutes seems to either fix the problem or I don't notice it so much now.

I can't be the only one who read this and thought "Woohoo! Wait, what are USB Diagnostics and how would I win one?" It's too early in the year, wake me in Feb.

Not just ONE - I want to win TEN! :doh:

You got a point. Test the hardware with Linux and check if the intermittence still happens.

I was having a similar problem. I could right click on an item -- and it could take 30 seconds for the popup menu. All sorts of things like that. It was not every time, but frequent. It started after an upgrade and upgrading to 1909 fixed it. So, I suspect it was one of the mitigation fixes that was causing the problem -- even after Microsoft supposedly fixed the problems. So, if you haven't upgraded to 1909 -- and it went very smoothly for all four machines here -- I would recommend it. The problem might not be with the USB ports.

It's one of the first things I do when it looks like I've got a hardware problem. If it works, it's the driver or a software conflict; if it doesn't, it's the hardware. It can save you going through a lot of pointless steps.

I could use a good USB wireshark plugin.... Of course if I could win ten of 'em, that'll work too. found on: https://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/USB
You can capture raw USB traffic on Windows with USBPcap. The Tools page lists some other options for Windows USB capture.
