How to Enable or Disable USB Ports In Windows 10/8/7 [Tutorial]

How often have you witnessed blocked Pen drive or USB drive access in your workplace or college or school? I believe many times; in fact, every time you try to use the USB drive, you are not allowed, simply because the administrator has disabled USB drive detection on your Windows 10/8/7 system. Again, how often has your data been stolen because someone connected an unauthorized USB to your computer and copied your files? Well, you don’t need to worry because the solution to disable or enable USB Ports is pretty simple.

You might have noticed that when you attach your USB drive to a computer at your school or office and computer doesn’t respond? It is because the administrator has disabled the USB ports and therefore, USB drives are not recognized.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7 operating systems.Works for all major computer manufactures (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung).
