One drastic cure that I know of for USB port issues is to remove them in device manager , reboot & let windows find them & re-install them. hat removes the "wrong" drivers that windows has managed to associate with specific devices in a specific port

but it's never obvious which port is which ,in device manager, if you have 5 or more of them!

but before you resort to that, it's possible to connect device to a good usb port then query what driver windows is using for it. then remove device, connect it to the "bad" port and query again. if a different driver is reported then that's your issues confirmed. if same drive is reported in both instances then time to think again ;-(

I don't have a device tested to check with but I think if the device si visible as a "disk" then you right click into properties then go to details and driver.... from there you may be able to update or roll back a wrong driver.
