If they don't, then go to ''Device Manager - Universal Serial Bus controllers'' - ***''right click''*** on a ''USB Root Hub'' entry ''- Properties - Power Management'' and check if the option that states "Allow the computer to turn off the device to save power" is ''not checked - OK.''
''Do this for all the USB Root Hub entries in the list.''
When complete, close all open windows and then restart the laptop in the normal manner and check if the USB ports now work OK.
