RestartUsbPort 1.2.1

RestartUsbPort is a command line tool that allows you to reboot any USB port when it crashes without having to restart your machine. Its goal is to be a simple little tool to reboot a USB port that crashes when trying to use it. First of all you need to figure out which port(s) can be rebooted. Usage:

RestartUsbPort[PortId][-l][-na][-w:nnnn]

PortId can be:

• Device instance ID (in quotes because it contains &)
• driver key name
• device location information
• a device friendly name (in quotes if it contains spaces or &)
• a UsbTreeView-style port sequence

-l lists bootable USB ports
-na has no information about
-w:nnnn timeout to end in milliseconds.

Example:

RestartUsbPort -l

RestartUsbPort "USB\VID_0781&PID_5580\AA010319131128161470"

RestartUsbPort {36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000}\0007

RestartUsbPort Port_#0002.Hub_#0008

RestartUsbPort "Sandisk Extreme"

RestartUsbPort 1-4-2

Also, for the program to work properly you need to run it with administrator privileges.
