The Windows 7 SP1 USB Driver Bug (what it is and how to fix it)

Thank you so very much. I'm very happy to hear that since I've never copied and executed a batch file before.

It's wonderful how you're helping everyone with this.

Sincerely, Libra

 

I put Pendrive in System32 and copied and pasted the batch file in CMD. Had no luck. Said to put in a elevated command prompt.
I guess some help would be nice

Thanks

 

"Elevated" = "Run as administrator"

as in, find the command prompt, right click, choose "run as administrator" and then attempt what you are trying to do.

 

When I try to do that I copy the entire file but it won't show up in CMD. Just the echo part.

EDIT: I cheated. Did it the delete the controller way. Oh well I'm up to speed now.

 

I made a version improvement to the batch file.
This one checks that the OS is actually Win 7 and SP1
And it also performs the date check on the 3 files (usbehci.sys usbport.sys winusb.sys)
allowing you to exit the program if they are already up to date.

Just put the two pendmove files in the same folder as you run this batch file from
pendmove32.exe
pendmove64.exe

Code:

Enigma256, sorry I was not able to send as a private message, I just registered and it would not let me. if you want to put this in your 1st post, please do.

I put it inside of folder with spaces, so I had to change it a little.

 

Ok, thanks. I edited the code in my post.

 

I just tested the 7601usbfix.exe on a 64bit Dell system after installing SP1 and it works.
I did have to reboot twice before all 3 files were recognized as fully replaced.

 

i think i know why the drivers are reported wrong by devmgr

the .sys files have a corresponding .mui file (usbport.sys.mui) which is still SP0 (not updated by SP1).
these .mui files are loaded along with the actual driver file, and prevents active swapping, and are not updated with SP1 (the file in the actual SP1 repo folder is still based on SP0).
Since the .mui file overrides the .sys files internal resources, the old version is displayed instead.

USBEhci.sys does not have an mui file.

Edit

Verified this is the case. bthport is also reporting a SP1 version in file properties and SP0 version in devmgr, the mui has not been updated for SP1 and still reads 16385.

lol, i wonder if downloading and installing the english language pack would do it.....

 

Just thougt i'd add, I used the sp1 installer and it updated all my usb drivers. (I just checked after reading your post) I suggest people check before they do this.

 

Thank you and Kliu for the 760l usbfix. I just used it and my two old usb files are now current. This is very much appreciated.

Sincerely,Libra

 

I would also like to add, if you just recently updated to SP1 and it's still the old version post some basic specs as Enigma suggested.

 

does Windows6.1-KB2459268-x64.msu have any impact on this issue?

 

thanks, the batch solved the problem...

 

thanks for the simple tool.
updated to all the 3 USB files to the latest version with it.

 

Just come across this and thanks for the useful information. I have some questions though.

I just checked one of my systems running the Simplified Chinese version of Windows 7 x64. SP1 was installed via the file installer downloaded from Microsoft. I did a directory listing of the usb*.sys files in the drivers folder and I saw that apart from the affected files (I did not see a winusb.sys file) there were several more files which are dated July 2009 instead of November 2010.

So I would like to ask:
1) Do you or any other people know the list of USB related files that were updated by SP1?
2) For those files not updated and not mentioned in this thread, is it normal for them not to be updated by SP1?
3) I am using non-English versions of Windows 7. Can the tool mentioned here find and fix the problem? If not, and if I want to fix it, do I have to use the "Easy but messy" solution?

 

Thank you for your answer.

One thing I felt I should mention : if you use HAL7600 to activate Windows 7, the build number will revert to 6.1.7600 (even though it still says Service Pack 1) and the tool won't work.
