PC not "seeing" devices
Discussion
USB has always been a bit hit and miss like that, and it's usually down to the drivers of the USB chipset in your machine and the drivers that your devices need.
There's a great bit of software called USBDeview that will show you what hardware the computer can "see" in far more detail than the Windows device manager can. Might be helpful.

I know very little about the magic of computers but two instances of not seeing devices have been...
My phone - charged but had to change a setting for it to see the photo files to transfer.
SD card for my camera - not detected - this turned out to be as simple as having to allocate a drive letter and name to the card and it now works all the time - done using a downloaded file partition manager.
No idea if this has any relevance here.

Which is the ID for a Garmin GPS - https://devicehunt.com/view/type/usb/vendor/091E
Reading https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=jAD9zCOUod0d... , it looks as if you can get a driver installer from https://www8.garmin.com/support/agree.jsp?id=591

Possibly a port binding issue, Unplug all USB devices except KB and mouse.
in device manager expand USB controllers and hopefully your Motherboards USB controller will be an obvious device.
open a command prompt as admin and type shutdown /r /t 60, this will restart the machine after a minute.
right click uninstall the usb controller, (leave the drivers) of course you'll lose kb/mouse access when you do this so you wait for the scheduled restart you initiated from the command line above. Your entire USB sub system will reset as the devices are automatically reinstalled on restart.
Plug everything in one by one, if it all works just make sure you always plug each device back into the same port.

Over zealous Anti Virus software?
Is the account you log in with an Administrator?
Is there something hardware wise that is clashing with the USB ports, some motherboards share channels so an expansion card of some description could be using resources that the USB ports might share?
Are you using any kind of external USB hub (or using the monitor as one?) I've seen these cause fun and games?
