For a long while I've had trouble with my one and only USB3 drive shutting off for no reason. I thought for sure it was the power settings, and I kept playing with those. Finally yesterday morning I found a thread where someone with the same problem fixed it by completely removing his computer's USB3 driver and letting Windows download the appropriate one. So I did that and it worked! My drive didn't shut off once for the entire day.

This morning however my USB3 port doesn't work at all, and the driver for it is missing. Windows knows there's a USB Controller there, but it now says it can't find an appropriate driver for it.

Thanks. Hope someone can help.

Thanks for responding. Your question made me decide to re-visit the MSI site (Cyberpower PC based my computer on their GT70 laptop) and dig further to find the proper driver. It all seems to be working now.
