USB-C ports quit working

All 4 ports on my MBP 2018 Catalina 10.15.4


Has anyone seen this before?


I'm unable to charge my laptop

It won't recognize my external hard drive


It's like they no longer exist


Thanks in advance

Reset your SMC and your NVRAM:

Sometimes changes are made to the system(i.e. updates) and then settings (i.e. for the Ports) become manipulated, technically. So, reset both on your Mac.
