VIA XHCI USB 3.0 Host Controller Chipset driver

VIA Verified local copy

VIA XHCI USB 3.0 Host Controller Driver is for older systems where VIA USB 3.0 ports need a vendor driver instead of the basic Windows USB stack.

XHCI USB 3.0 Host Controller driver overview

This package is mainly useful on Windows 7 and legacy systems. It helps when USB 3.0 ports are visible in BIOS but do not work correctly inside Windows until the VIA host controller driver is installed.

When this package helps

USB 3.0 ports on a VIA controller do not detect drives or scanners.
Device Manager shows an unknown USB controller on a legacy PC.
You are rebuilding Windows 7 and need chipset-side USB support.

Supported Windows versions
