Why can't I connect a USB hub to a USB 3.0 port?

Question

Programming

Writes that the driver could not be installed. Connects to usb 2.0 fine. But after all, I calmly connect a mouse, keyboard and printer to 3.0, where USB 2.0, that is, the versions seem to be backwards compatible. Hub is something special or what?
OS Windows 7 x64 Ultimate

Answer 1

The printer on 3.0 works for me with big problems, it also slipped on Habré about compatibility problems with many devices.
And in general, there is a lot of discussion on the Internet. Here is a question on a toaster on a similar topic:
USB 3.0 ports do not see an external hard drive
There is an assumption on setting up the power of the port, I also met it on the Internet, try it.

Answer 2

Often a "good" USB 3.0 port reacts to a bad (in terms of quality) USB 2.0 cable.
Well, or there is a shortage of drivers for USB 3.0 itself

Answer 3

I would try to change the usb cable, update the firewood on the motherboard / usb3 controller board.
By the way, a question for connoisseurs - does USB3 work in its own way, USB3 cable, or is usb2 cable compatible in the same way as sata cables?
