I greatly appreciate your reply. I followed the link that you sent and tried changing XHCI mode to auto as well as enabled. Unfortunately I still get the USB 2 warning for both, and I am unable to uninstall or reinstall the driver. Just to clarify, when I attempt to install, I either get a black screen or a bsod with mini dump file, and when I try to uninstall it, it just sits but doesn't do anything. I've tried stopping all intel services with no luck. Any thoughts?
