One of my usb ports Stopped working

So here is the issue, one of my ports stopped working completely and it wont recognize any device and won’t show anything on the screen saying usb device not recognized,it’s like plugging nothing into the usb port, what i believe cause the problem is when i tried to check on one my PS4 controllers that wouldn’t charge anymore and so i tried using multiple usb cables that were plugged into that one specific usb port,so whenever i plug my controller into the usb port it message pops up saying that usb device not recognized and then i switch to a different cable and it’s the same message and i keep trying till the message won’t show anymore on my screen like the usb port has no power but it actually has power cause i can feel it,after that i tried plugging different devices that work just fine on my other usb ports and none of the worked and yes i tried a couple of solutions like uninstalling my usb hubs and updating them and none of these worked for me so i’m just wondering if there is anything i can still do and it is just my usb port that is dead.

"Hi @saifprogaming ,

Check if the cable which connects the USB port from the front panel is still connected securely to the motherboard.

If it appears to be OK check that the setting that allows the computer to control power to the USB ports has been unchecked.

If you have Win 10 installed, right click on the Windows Start button (left side of Taskbar) and then in the options that appear select Device Manager > scroll down to Universal Serial Bus Controllers, click on + sign to expand the list > right click on a USB Root Hub entry (as I don’t know which one is for the particular USB port you’ll have to check all of the USB Root Hub entries in the list) > select Properties > Power Management and check if the option which says “Allow the computer to turn off this device “ is unchecked and then click OK. Then restart the computer and see if it now works OK.

Here’s an image that shows what I mean.

If you have done all this and it still doesn’t work then perhaps there is a problem on the motherboard with the power supply feeding that particular USB port."
