Restarting Plug & Play service not fixing Device Manager

[Guest]

I've restarted the Plug & Play service several times (with & without
rebooting in between) , and my Device Manager is still completely empty. USB
devices are not working at all.

Would really appreciate any advice!! Thanks

[[If Device Manager is showing nothing, then Its the plug and play service
that is the problem. But if the Device manager is showing the system_name
and not showing any devices in the window, then check the security
permissions on the Registry key HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\ENUM .The
SYSTEM account must have full control permissions on this key in order for
the Device manager to list all the devices in the window ]]
