USB device could run faster warning

Recently I am receving a popup warning that a given device "could run faster" if plugged in to another USB port. I only have two external ports and have been using the same devices since day 1; Logitech receiver and iPhone cable. The only recent changes hardware wise is Dell installed a new motherboard.

I have uninstalled the two USB composite devices and reinstalled them, no luck. I have check for updates and non are found.

In Device Manager, right click on the USB Universal Host Controller > Properties > Advanced tab, and uncheck "Tell me if my device can perform faster"..

I am aware of this "Fix" but it really does not answer why all of the sudden. I have had this system almost 3 years and this is the first time I am getting this.

Hello Grayhair,
It's not so much a fix, more of a work around, good idea though.
When you say you un-installed and re-installed the USB devices, how did you do that ?.
When Dell replaced the MB, did they fit the same model board and/or with the same version of Bios as you had before ?.
Has this only started since the new MB ?.

I would not say it is a workaround either, more like turning the radio up loud in your car to block out the noise.

I went through the device manager.

Yes everything is the same. It did start since the new MB but not right away. It's been about a 6 weeks.

Is there an option in your Bios for the configuration of Plug and Play (PnP) devices ?.
Also maybe a system restore to a point before this started may fix it.
Was the OS re-installed after the new MB was fitted ?.
