Where is Intel USB 3.0 Extensible Host Controller driver for Microsoft Windows 8?

[idata]

I seached within Intel Support and what I got were Intel USB 3.0 Extensible Host Controller drivers for MICROSOFT WINDOWS 7.

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&keyword=intel%20usb%203.0%20extensible%20host%20controller http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&keyword=intel%20usb%203.0%20extensible%20host%20controller

Microsoft Windows 8 was released yesterday, October 26 and where is the compatible driver for it?

Could an Intel technical support representative feedback to technical support about this problem?

I'm trying to figure out which version carminus you've posted and did you see the http://www.station-drivers.com/page/intel%20chipset.htm Station-Drivers where they have version 2.0.100 beta which is the one I want to try using, how do we modify it ourselves?

I tried this but your readme says to use iusb3hub while pluggable's says to use iusb3xhc

So which one is it huh? I tried iusb3hub and my system showed a device that was not recognized but it showed the eXtensible Controller as being installed correctly. WHICH ONE IS WHICH!!

[idata]

I have version ending with .420..... What version have you uploaded (looks like 1.0.7.248) ? May be your version can help me....

[idata]

carminus,

Thank you!

To everyone here the guide to modify these yourselves is https://docs.google.com/viewer?pid=explorer&srcid=0B1iTNRmwaw54RWMyd3hUVV9WZkE&docid=fb24ed30dc61006d2858472c60f66e4c|13b25755bf389d3c3cb64d49f4e862f0&chan=EQAAALQ6iryec1hadS6vCjWyJsDDbCtoeBI/PDSC8/cwcBQz&a=v&rel=zip;z3;Instructions.txt HERE

Also there are beta drivers online at http://www.station-drivers.com/page/intel%20chipset.htm Station-Drivers version 2.0.100 beta however even following ekko's guide nothing worked. I did a search for one of the strings and discovered this warning:

WARNING: BETA version!

Updated for Intel 8 Series/C220 series Chipset Family (2.0.0.100) only for 4th generation Intel® Core™ Processor Family (Haswell).

So we definitely can't use these, it also implies they may not update the drivers for Intel 5/7 series anymore idk what to make of it.

The Intel drivers for my Intel dx79sr MB are Renesas drivers and your instructions reference only Intel drivers. Front inf is nusb3hub.inf and rear is rusb3hub.inf.

Would I just substitute?

[idata]

I have been away from the thread for a while, but I see the comments seem to be about the same.

So wingdam, just in case you have not seen this before, Windows 8 comes with drivers for your USB 3.0 controllers. Since you said you have a Renesas driver, I installed an add-in US Robotics USB 3.0 card to test.

Did a clean Windows 8 install and no downloaded drivers (no internet connection), so all drivers had to come from the Windows 8 Install media. All (including the add-in card) of my USB 3.0 ports are working at 3.0 speeds.

My ASUS Z77 board already had ASMedia and Intel USB 3.0 controllers. I notice the Z79 chipset does not have native Intel USB 3.0, or at least it does not appear to. I did notice the Intel reference on the extensible controller on my board changed to Renesas after I installed the add-in card.

All of the controllers and USB Root Hubs (xHCI) are using the same drivers and .inf file to set them up.

UCX01000.SYS

USBXHCI.SYS

usbxhci.inf

USBHUB3.SYS for Hubs.

The bottom line is I feel complaining to Intel about needing a driver is not the correct way to address the situation. If your USB 3.0 ports are not working in Windows 8, I would think it is for one of the following reasons.

Your install media is corrupted.

Some device in one of the USB 3.0 ports is effecting the drivers.

A problem with the physical connections to the off board ports, which might effect them all.

A problem with the motherboard/USB 3.0 controller.

There is another poster in this thread has the same motherboard as me, and even though my ports work fine, his do not. This fact alone shows me Windows 8 has the necessary drivers, but in some circumstances, they do not work. If you run all the tests you can and cannot get the ports to work with the Windows 8 version, I would suggest returning the Motherboard.

Just in case you were wondering, I receive no incentive from Intel for anything, so I am not here to help them, but I would like to see the issue resolved correctly.

This is frustrating. I successfully installed the modified drivers, but it made no difference on my Hitachi Touro Mobile Pro which works fine on my brother's computer with a Renesas USB 3.0 add-on card. (USB 2.0 devices previously connected to my USB 3.0 ports still function as they did before. This is really the only issue I'm having with Windows 8 because I can't access this hard drive unless I use my brother's computer.

Even if I get the Hitachi drive to connect to my computer's USB 3.0 ports, the drive is still useless as a portable storage device because my laptop's USB 2.0 ports cannot even recognize this drive in its current state. I'm at the point where I'm just going to try to bust the HDD out of the enclosure and install it in a different USB 3.0 enclosure to see if that will work with Windows 8.

I have a Samsung Series 7 http://forum.notebookreview.com/samsung/660337-new-samsung-series-7-np700z7c-s01us-laptop-i7-3615qm-650m-review.html NP700Z7C-S01US Laptop i7 3615QM 650m

I am testing with 3 USB 3.0 devices. 2 External drives and one media reader. I have not put Kies on my machine. All of my USB 3.0 device can connect to the USB interface but they run at USB 2.0 speeds. In the "personalization" menu under devices, one of my devices says "you can run faster with USB 3.0" even though it IS plugged into USB 3.0. The other doesn't warn about the connection speed, but it also still runs at USB 2.0 speeds. An external 3.0 Compact Flash reader (SIIG) can not be read over the USB 3.0 at all, but runs fine on the USB 2.0 side. Also, it runs fine on my Asus G51SW laptop on the USB 3.0 port, and both external USB 3.0 drives run at full speed on the Asus.

Something is wrong the with USB 3.0 driver or the interfaces themselves on the Samsung series 7 (17")...for sure.

I don't believe I have the Renesas controller. The Intel one is the one I have.

Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller- 0100 (Microsoft)

No Renesas in the device manager. I simply looked at transfer speed in windows 8...they are around 25-30 Mb/s. USB 2.0 speeds.

In fact, when I plug my drive in, which is a Seagate USB 3.0 drive, in the personalization area under devices, it shows that my "device could perform faster"... yet it is on a 3.0 interface and is a 3.0 drive! This is obviously a Windows 8 and Intel issue.

Sigh.

Hi to all community

On my n56vz win8pro i7 3630qm still not working usb. Actually, it works at usb2.0 speed with stock drivers but with the modded ones i got noyhing working, i've done the right procedure a few times but no fortune

I'm using an external hard drive usb 3.0 that works at 100mbs on every computer but not on my laptop.

thanks in advice for your help

I feel like this is an issue between the Extensible Intel driver and the motherboard chipset drivers. Mine still only work at usb 2.0 speeds or dont recognize a device correctly at all.

If this works...you are " T H E M A N " Period.

It just comes back with the driver software for your device is up to date.

The driver page you're linking to does show it's been updated on 3-31 but it still doesn't include support for Windows 8.

Ok so is this the way to do it if we want Windows 8 USB 3.0 driver updated?

I'm confused by what Sam DeRenzis wrote. This all seemed legit until Sam posted something that requires a questionable .exe app just to download the driver.

I guess I'm slightly confused......as I see that I now have driver Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller:

Driver: Microsoft

Driver Ver: 6.2.9200.1668

Driver Date: 5/31/2013

This was provided by the April 2013 Windows 8 Cumulative update mentioned by Curtis....

My USB Root Hub (xHCI) driver is:

Driver: Microsoft

Driver Date: 5/3/2013

Driver Ver: 6.2.9200.16604

Then I see a link posted above for the Intel USB 3.0 driver:

Driver: Intel

Driver Ver: 1.0.8.251

Driver Date: 3/31/2013

The Microsoft driver seems to be working fine......and it is a later dated driver then the Intel driver....should I just let it go with this latest Microsoft USB 3.0 driver....lol

Thanks

I recently bought a Lenovo Core i7 Windows 8 laptop. Problem which is driving me nuts now is that I could not sync an MP3 player and I get an "the device is incompatible" message. The driver had a yellow triangle next to it but Windows told me the software is updated. I also received Code 31 and 43 messages and out of desperation uninstall the driver. How do I get the driver back and how do I get my MP3 player to sync and play?

[idata]

This is still just for Windows 7. It would appear they have only added two fixes in this Windows 7 release.

USB3.0 devices behind a USB3.0 HUB may disappear after system

reboot

Resolved in Release Rev: 1.0.8.251 (PVHF8)

"Allow this device to wake the computer" option for HID-compliant

mouse/keyboard under the Device Manager may be unchecked if

the mouse/keyboard is connected behind the USB3.0 port and the

USB3.0 driver is installed.

Resolved in Release Rev: 1.0.8.251 (PVHF8)

This still isn't a solution for Windows 8.

[idata]

Oh well. I will keep waiting. This is basically the last thing I need to fix on Win 8 for my Samsung Series 7 Chronos laptop.

[idata]

The issue I'm seeing is with a Warpia SWP120A. The device works fine when I plug it in but if I unplug it and later plug it back in before I reboot it doesn't work. I get an error that says the driver is already in use. This is the same thing that happens if I plug in a second Warpia device.

It acts like the controller doesn't unload the driver when it's unplugged.

[idata]
