I thought I'd mix it up a bit

To be clear - I did not knew the answer... but the cool cat and the (4, 7) made me think of the Pink Panther, which automatically made me humming the tune...

I was off trying to think of Jazz musicians -- Dave Brubeck came to mind as I've been listening to his CDs lately.

Wow. I was nowhere close. I was thinking which software is based on Nyan cat.

Damn, I looked at the clue and immediately knew the answer.
However, I did not know the reasoning behind the relationship between the clue and the answer.
Good thing I'm on the wrong side of the pond or I might of had to set a clue, and I'm not quite sure of the rules for that.

If you can solve 'em, you can set 'em.
If you do win, then just don't over think it. Go for brevity, and once written ignore it for a couple of hours then read it again.

I find myself seeing a word and thinking "Hey, that would be a great CCC solution".

Three hours ago, every SS-USB port on my computer just quit.
The regular USB ports (USB-2, as best I can tell) are working just fine.
I tried hot swapping every USB device I have.
I observe Exactly uniform results each time: USB-2 works fine, SS-USB produces no response
Significant observation...
- My keyboard has blue backlight under the keys.
- USB-2: Lights on
- SS-USB: No Lights, No response, No Nothing
Audio Interface: Same
Mouse: Same
External Drive: Same
Thumb drives: Same
This is a new level of weird for me. I have not installed a new piece of hardware or software in several days; then three hours ago: Zap !
All the details I know at this moment...
Dell OptiPlex Intel Core i5
16GB Ram
480SSD
Everything else is connected via USB ports

Update: Now I don't have audio output from the 3.5 mm jack on the front of the machine.

I learned (the almost hard way) that if a USB port pulls too much current that it will fail-safe shut off. I was doing work with Arduino & I accidentally attempted to pull too much current & it shut off (USB ports) and saved my computer. It could be something similar occurring on one of the ports.
Just a guess.
Maybe you have something pulling extra current or something like that?
After the problem fail-safe-shut-off the only way to restore it is by turning computer off & back on.

Turned the entire system off
Pulled the cord out of the wall
Waited more than five minutes
Behavior remains constant

Get: USBDeview[^] ... it's freeware and might be able to tell you something you don't already know about your USB configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm guessing The "_Download USBDeview for x64 systems_" is the one I want
HUH ???
Ran it
Did not do a thing, just ran it; changed nothing
Fixed it
Huh ?
You young people know so much about these computers !

It was probably the USB controller chip had got wedged, and the process of querying it about all USB devices reset it.
I've had cases on my old desktop (an HP Z420) like the one you had, where Device Manager indicated that the USB controller had just stopped responding...

Something to try;
A couple of times while working on Arduino projects the USB ports shut down and kept getting a "Unrecognized device" error or it just didn't work.
After much knashing of teeth and pulling of hair I found a sight that suggested;
Shut down computer
Unplug main power (very important) for 30 seconds
Start back up
This reinitializes the USB ports and it will reload drivers for the devices that are plugged in.

Powered down and waited five (plus) minutes
Pulled every single USB item out of the machine; even the mouse and keyboard
This also included my USB WIFI thingy which is my internet connection.
Reboot produced the same result.
Does windows find the new drivers on the interent during boot ?

Drivers are already on your device, just looks for the current one.
Sorry it didn't work, was a long shot and worth the try.
