    After recieving my laptop, i notice that only my right usb-port is working. The ones at the back and at the left arent responding.

    This is atleast after my clean install, never tried them before. Recommendations? Can I change a setting/install a driver or is it most likely a cable that hasnt been attached?

    Have you installed the Renesas driver for the 2 USB 3.0 ports on the left?

    Edit: NVM you got an older XPS15

    Older XPS? My Commentline is not current. I have the new XPS 15, recieved it 4 days ago so cant imagine any newer model being out yet :)

    I will try your tip, thanks

    EDIT: Works great, Thanks :)
