Is there a reason you can't/don't want to revert to F12 BIOS version? That version still allows the USB 3 (both controllers, for the back ports and for the maybe installed front ports) to work as they should, and gigabite says that version is compatible with win10 is you want to "upgrade" to that windows version anyway.

  I have no idea if it's possible to "revert to F12 Bios version" BC as I don't understand it ........ and I wouldn't know even where to start .......  the link I posted  shows that particular motherboard is bugging right down to not even booting up sometimes and with all sorts of issues when trying to run USB3 ....... far far better tech heads than I have struggled for some time to get the USB3 ports to function and most if not all failed ....... 
 
........ better I think to buy another new motherboard (maybe) that is compatible with my processor and other parts that has working USB3 ports and is known to be relatively bug free ..... they are not expensive ..
  I've sent a link of compatible motherboards for my processor to Wim to see if he could see a way through this ....... if not ..... well that's life after all .....  

thanks though nonetheless !!
