Answer 2

There are currently no reported problems with the February update causing problems with the USB ports.

Go to the support page for your PC or Motherboard on the manufacturers website, then from there, download and install the version of Chipset drivers they recommend.

If that does not resolve the problem, are you able to uninstall the February update from Settings - Windows Update - Update History, then scroll to the bottom and select 'Uninstall Updates'.
