On my Hewlett-Packard 110-412na machine running Windows 8.1, the USB ports stopped working a couple of times recently

Since USB is the only interface between keyboard and rodent, and I waited 20 minutes or so, I had to switch the machine off and back on again.

I looked in Device Manager where everything looked ok (no yellow flags). The properties of all the devices stated that they are all working properly.

On the second occasion I was writing in Notebook, which doesn't have automatic saving, and lost a lot of work.

What might have been the cause of the USB shutting down?

Bad or missing driver.

Despite the following:

I looked in Device Manager where everything looked ok (no yellow flags). The properties of all the devices stated that they are all working properly.
, I also told the system to update drivers for each of the USB items. No newer drivers are available.
