Ever since installing Windows 8, I've been having issues with certain USB devices not working (when they were working fine in W7). I've installed all of the proper drivers for my system, and even made sure that it wasn't the devices failing themselves by testing it on two other systems.
First is my android mobile phone. All of the proper drivers load up when the device is plugged in. When USB transfer mode is enabled on the phone, the Android UMS driver will appear under device manager. However that's as far as it will go, Windows 8 will not access the sdcard through the driver (as it's supposed to, and does on both a W7 and XP system). Any attempt to access the device properties also causes severe slowdown and lockups until the USB cable is pulled from the phone's port.
Second is my printer's mulitcard reader (HP Photosmart C4180). None of the media's that are inserted in the reader will show up on my W8 PC, but will show up and work fine on both other PC's.
The drivers are up to date for all of the devices, it's just my W8 machine that doesn't want to work properly.
