missing called Universal Serial Bus(USB) Controller missing in Device
Manager.

I have tried all my drivers but nothing help.

Could someone help me Please???

I solved it ... I had to go back into my CMOS setup to ENABLE the 'OnChip
USB' selection and voila ... the USB port and my USB scanner were
automatically recognised and now work perfectly. Follow these steps (with
appropriate changes for your particular BIOS / CMOS setup):
1) reboot your computer
2) during reboot sequence select whatever command you need to enter the CMOS
/ BIOS (this is the DEL key on my computer)
3) scroll down to the selection that contains 'OnChip USB' selection (this
is titled 'Integrated Peripherals' on my computer)
4) ENABLE the 'OnChip USB' selection
5) Select F10 to save the changes (this should exit the CMOS and continue
the reboot sequence to load your operating system
6) you should now see the computer auto recognise the USB devices and you
will also now see the USB Controller selection visible in the Device Manager
