The basic functionality of the generic MS driver isn't the problem, it's failure to do basic troubleshooting correctly. There are plenty of Intel Windows 8.x systems with working USB 3.x ports, and working USB 3.x ports under 10 doesn't seem to be a general problem either (it worked fine on my Intel based laptop when I tested Windows 10). I'm not sure why people make these things so difficult. If things have really been screwed up, it can be slightly more difficult to repair it. My NUC has the latest version of BIOS which is 86A and I am using the Legacy boot from USB stick. I used the latest version of USB 3.0 drivers from the Intel downloads web which were Intel(R)USB3.0eXtensibleHostControllerDriver5.0.4.43v2 and the keyboard is via USB cable.

You may need to delete the device then re-recognize it and/or use the device properties to check if MS has it online. Unfortunately the NUC cannot get past the first Windows 7 install screen because the keyboard and mouse cannot be seen. In the interim, please use the drivers here. Ive tested this on three machines that were upgraded from 7/8 to 10 pro with the same behavior. Also, the back and front USB ports aren't working. Then follow the usual troubleshooting steps for loading the MS driver. Windows 10 USB drivers for Intel USB 3.0 chipsets are totally broken and only allow USB 2.0 speeds. Troubleshooting When I install my USB driver for the MSI Z87-G45 it says, 'The setup program failed to install one or more device drivers', ont the USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller-Version 3.0.0.19. If you are upgrading from Windows 7 you'll need to uninstall the XHCI USB 3.0 drivers.

Without a USB 3.0 driver installed, the ports will only work at USB 2.0 speed since that's the only part of the port which is active without a USB 3.0 driver. The hacked driver is available in order to get rid of that yellow flag. The yellow flag on the device indicates the driver isn't installed. Your first link explained the problem well enough to understand.
