Starting your Surface from a USB drive can be useful if you want to change firmware settings or Windows startup settings or if your Surface device does not turn on, start, boot, or wake from sleep.
If only one USB device is not working, try plugging in another USB device to see if it is recognized. If other devices work, the issue may be with the original USB device rather than the port itself.
