ULi PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller Driver

The ULi PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller driver helps Windows communicate with the Uli USB 2.0 host controller built into compatible motherboards or expansion hardware. You may need it after reinstalling Windows, when Device Manager lists an unidentified USB controller, or when devices connected to the controller’s ports are not working correctly.

Key Features

• Enables Windows to recognize and use the compatible Uli PCI-based USB enhanced host controller.
• Provides USB 2.0 high-speed controller support for compatible peripherals, such as external drives, printers, and scanners.
• Helps resolve controller detection problems caused by a missing or incorrect driver, though it cannot fix damaged ports or cables.
• Offers driver options for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, depending on the specific package and hardware revision.

How to Install ULi PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller Driver

1. Identify your controller. Open Device Manager and look under “Universal Serial Bus controllers” or “Other devices.” Check the controller’s Properties > Details > Hardware Ids to confirm that the package matches your hardware.
2. Check your Windows version. Confirm whether your system uses 32-bit or 64-bit Windows. For Windows 10/11 systems, do not assume the same package supports both: Windows 10 is listed here, but Windows 11 compatibility is not confirmed.
3. Choose the matching package. Before starting your ULi PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller driver download for Windows, review the supported operating systems and hardware IDs. Select the latest version that explicitly supports your configuration; a free download still needs compatibility and source checks.
4. Install the driver. Extract the downloaded archive if necessary. Run the included installer, or select “Update driver” in Device Manager and browse to the extracted driver folder. Avoid forcing installation if Windows reports that the driver is incompatible.
5. Restart and test. Restart your computer if prompted, then check Device Manager for warnings. Connect a known-working USB device to a port managed by this controller to verify operation.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses a problem or improves support for your system. Check Windows Update and your motherboard or computer manufacturer’s support resources before replacing a working driver. An update is not always necessary for stable hardware, especially on older systems.
