    Running Windows 7 on my L501X.
    In Device Manager>Intel WiUSB>USB-IF xHCI USB Host Controller, there appears a yellow exclamation point. When I open Properties the message says "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)" When I click on Update Driver, Windows says the latest driver is already installed.
    Any ideas what this is about? Thank you.

    Turns out the driver was outdated. Installed the latest version from Intel and issue was fixed. Thank you.
