Logitech USB Receiver and Unifying Software

This software supports the small USB receivers, including the Unifying line, that pair Logitech keyboards, mice, and presenters wirelessly to a PC. The receiver itself is class-compliant, so devices work the moment it is plugged in; the software exists to pair additional peripherals to one receiver and to update its firmware. It is optional convenience rather than a requirement for basic use.

Logitech USB Receiver and Unifying Software driver family: Compact USB-C hub with neatly connected cables and laptop on a clean white desk with blue tones.

Use this when you are not certain which family your hardware belongs to.

Intel

Intel USB 3.x eXtensible Host Controller

This is the integrated xHCI host controller that runs the USB 3.x ports on Intel-based systems, handling high-speed data and device enumeration. It normally arrives as part of the platform chipset package rather than as a standalone download, and on a laptop or prebuilt the OEM chipset build is the matched version. Windows can drive it generically, but the vendor build resolves the occasional high-speed link or power-state quirk.

Intel

Intel Thunderbolt Controller and Software

Intel's Thunderbolt controller and its control software together manage the tunneling of PCIe and display traffic over a Thunderbolt port, plus the security approval of connected devices. Because Thunderbolt is bound to system firmware and power management, the build validated by your computer maker for that exact model is the dependable one. A generic driver frequently leaves a dock only partly functional.

Intel

Intel USB4 Connection Manager

The USB4 Connection Manager is the host software that negotiates and manages USB4 links on supported Intel platforms under Windows 11, coordinating data, display, and power over the connector. Like Thunderbolt, USB4 depends on platform firmware, so laptop and prebuilt owners should use the OEM build matched to their model. It governs how a single USB-C port juggles high-speed data alongside video and charging.

AMD

AMD USB 3.x Host Controller

This is the USB 3.x host controller on AMD platforms, driving the high-speed ports wired to the processor or chipset. It is delivered inside the AMD chipset software rather than as a separate file, so installing or updating the chipset package is how you keep it current. Windows will run these ports generically, but the AMD build addresses power and charging behavior on supported boards.

AMD

AMD Chipset USB Filter and Fast Charge

This component of the AMD chipset software fine-tunes USB behavior and enables fast charging over supported ports on AMD boards. It is not a standalone item but part of the broader chipset package, so it installs and updates with it. If a port charges slowly or a device behaves oddly on power, having the current chipset software in place is the first thing to confirm.

ASUS

ASMedia USB 3.x Host Controller (via board vendor)

Many motherboards add extra USB ports through an ASMedia host controller separate from the chipset, so those ports need the board vendor's ASMedia driver rather than the platform package. On ASUS boards this driver is listed with the other USB downloads for a specific model and revision. If a subset of a board's ports fails while others work, an unmatched ASMedia driver is a common cause.
