USB Repair

USB Repair is a free utility from Rizonesoft that attempts to fix USB device errors in Windows, for example when a USB drive, keyboard, mouse or other USB device is not recognized or fails to install. It is also a likely solution to several Device Manager error codes, including Code 19, Code 31, Code 32, Code 37, Code 39 and Code 41. When such errors appear, users often consider reinstalling Windows or rolling it back with System Restore, but USB Repair tries to fix the USB device configuration first. The program works on the software side only: it repairs the configuration of USB host controllers and hubs and the related Windows settings, so it cannot fix physically damaged hardware and it does not recover files from flash drives. The developer recommends running it only when you actually have USB problems.

Features of USB Repair

• One-Click Repair: click the Repair USB button on the main screen, then restart the computer so that Windows can set up the USB devices again.

• Device Manager Error Codes: the repair targets the configuration errors behind codes 19, 31, 32, 37, 39 and 41.

• Progress Log: the main screen shows each step of the repair, such as starting services and repairing USB host controllers and hubs.

• System Restore Point: the Tools menu can create a Windows restore point before any changes are made, so the system can be rolled back if something goes wrong.

• Device Manager Access: the standard Windows Device Manager can be opened from the program to check the state of USB controllers and devices.

• Reboot Command: the File menu includes a command to restart Windows after the repair.

• Logging Settings: the Preferences dialog lets you enable logging and limit the size of the log file.

• Update Check: the program can check for new builds at startup; it only compares the installed version with the one available online.

• Portable Edition: a portable version runs from a USB stick or external drive without installation and does not write settings to the registry.

• Translations: the interface can be translated into other languages by editing a language INI file.

• Open Source: USB Repair is released under the GNU General Public License, and its source code is part of the Rizonesoft Resolute repository on GitHub.
