Want to know what to do when a USB Device Is Not Recognized in Windows 10? USB connection errors, such as Error Code 43 message is very common. This error is caused by faulty hardware, out of date software, driver issue and conflicts. There are a couple of common types of yellow exclamation mark errors, one is the device has no driver and windows don’t recognize the device without it, the device might be named which is a good sign and easier to fix then the later USB problem, where the device is unknown to windows.
So, let’s start troubleshooting this USB problem:
1. Remove all USB devices from the computer apart from Keyboard and Mouse.
2. Try changing port and changing USB cable
3. Try updating windows
4. Try running Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter tool
5. Try updating drivers for all USB Hubs and USB Root
6. Try uninstalling drivers for all USB Hubs and USB Root and restart computer
7. Try Roll Back Drivers option if available, windows may of updated your driver and now it don’t work.
8. Download drivers from the hardware manufacturer website
9. Try flashing motherboard BIOS
10. Download latest USB chipset drivers and USB drivers from motherboard manufacturer website
11. Check for USB 3 and USB 2 compatibility, also check to make sure you are using the right USB cable if it’s a old device.
12. Check Hardware id code and search to find the correct driver
13. Check to see if hardware is even compatible with Windows 10
These are just some basic steps you can try and resolve How to Fix a USB Device Problem in Windows 10

Britec09 Please help me... What about "Unknown USB Device (Set Address Failed)" ???
In my device manager it doesn't give me the exclamation mark my anything and everythings normal but the message is still popping up 24/7. If you know why id be greatful for assistance
PLS help mine has invalid device descriptor
@Kahfi Firdaus the one when he says to unnisnstall it?
I bought a splitter for my 2 monitors and I want to extend the screen, and I just keep getting this error non stop, it's annoying
Has Windows “Troubleshooter” ever “shot” down a “trouble” in its entire existence?
LOL
I think it mostly checks for obvious solutions that we already know how to check
Actually, yes! I did once get lucky with an internet connection problem and it fixed it for me. I was as surprised as you are!
Meh windows just does nothing and asks me how did windows solve your problem and im like "Time to kill" 🤣🤣
LMAO
Thank you so much 😊 I’m so grateful for this video, I had a USB drive with 6000+ family photos ranging over about seven years and thought that they were lost, many of my family members have passed so this is all that I have left, and now My computer recognizes it again❤️
And now you are making several backups right ?! One online ; one kept outside of the house with a trusted person and one ready to grab if you have to leave in a hurry. And yes ,do it on a SSD (Solid State Drive ) ;safer, studier and more room. Maybe keep one in the bank in a safety deposit box as well. Your're welcome :) A harddisk or USB ,it is not if they fail but when...!
@@MusicJunky3 my ssd dead
since you spend so much time helping us with windows maybe Micro Soft should pay you for your services
That would be awesome lol

None of these worked for me, but I gave you a thumbs up just because you sound like such a nice fellow.

aww that's sweet
@@lhu7310 Indeed! Spread love, not fake pandemics.
Thank you! I've been looking for a fix, watched many TH-cam to no avail. I tried your msdt.exe solution and it worked! Now my wireless mouse and my USB microphone are recognized by Win 10. I think the devices are not defective, but the USB port driver was. Thanks again. from Philippines.
I also tried it by msdt. However, my computer finds errors but does not correct them. Restart it and everything but, however it does not download / install anything.
This video saved me a lot of time instead of transferring wirelessly and waiting for so long. Thank you so much man, Appreciate
you taking the time and effort to make this video!
I spent so long trying to fix it. Stumbled upon this video and it worked in 2 minutes. Liked.
Please tell me what you did man I CANT FIX IT BRUH
I searched for a driver update using the "browse my computer" option and my USB device started working immediately. Thanks so much!
How
can u tell me specifically what u did
Thanks Brian - Great video with great tips, ideas and solutions! Have a great week!
Cheers John, you too
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This saved me so much pain and is one of the few actually helpful videos on here.
Thank you so much, after uninstalling it and plugging my iphone back up it immediately started charging. You’re a life saver!
It’s kinda hard to do this when my mouse is the thing that’s not being recognized😂
ahaha thats tuff
ong tho!!💀
Same here.
Same here bro that's why I am here
omg bro thats funny
Excellent information to troubleshoot. Thank you bunches.
Had that problem intermittently with a USB hard drive. It turned out that not all USB ports are equal. The drive didn't get enough power.
Yeah that is very common, some USB that run on USB power can cause that issue
Thanks again Brian. Helpful as always...got a graphics card n webcam driver update n a few other system n chipset n software driver updates...all that I didn`t know I needed. cleared my unknown devices. pc is running well. thank you for your videos mate.
Did you know how to fix input lag in 2400g? When I'm gaming sometimes the mouse and keyboard is lagging
Always helping out the lads. love the channel!
Thanks for watching Peter.
I did every step up until 13 minutes and the one at 12 minutes finally fixed it. Thank you!
Hey! I seem to have spotted the problem. I'm trying to get my laptop to recognize an old device but it just throws the whole "The Last device you connected…" stuff and can't seem to get it running. Is there a way to fix this?
thank you so much, I was losing my mind trying to fix my keyboard. The powershell diagnostic did it for me.
I tried the "uninstall device" option and it worked. Thanks!
did you pluged it back in after deleting it
What is the cause of this problem? my device was fine before, why did this problem suddenly appear?
Thank you so much my friend. I literally uninstalled the driver, plugged it back in and it recognized it. Seriously I am thankful for this. I was about to return my device.
Another helpful and useful video Brian, thank you so much for your efforts. Don.
Thanks for the timely vid Brian,
I had this issue last Sunday, the only thing that fixed it was changing the drive letter of my USB Flash Drive --> Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Computer Management\Storage\Disk Management.
Is it safe to do?
@@wahyumaulana3038 I had no problem doing so and it hasn't changed since.
@@georgemickel6608 glad to hear that, thanks :D
First of all thank you for your information and time..
I tried all the options you mentioned but no results, and i wanted to ask you : what if the Hardware ID is not known ... ?
I got only the USB\VID_0000&PID_0002\5&3b489c26&0&2 code 43
Thank you again for your help and hope you'll have a solution for this one.
Thank you man!! You saved me. The steps you showed did not quit work for me but i was able to recognise the problem (findind the code of the driver) and after that the solution was simple. Thank you so much!!
what did you do with the device name at 3:30 to find the driver?
i can't seem to find the driver that i need for my device.
I’ll have just a USB cord plugged into my USB on my computer and it says unknown device and it keeps popping up every for five seconds saying unknown device will this work for that because the USB cord does not have a driver
Same dude, it's annoying
Bless up, updating my motherboard and chipset allowed it to work :) love you sm this is the only helpful video in so many I watched! Wish I could give you more than a like!
Thanks! Uninstalling and plugging it back in solved my problem. Windows now sees my flash drive just like before.
question for you, Im using a right angle usb to mini for an in car printer. the printer is a brother pocket jet 6 plus, I keep getting that error with the angles usb's not the normal. I have the printer driver installed. Any thoughts?
God bless you!! I was going to throw this mouse away. Fixed it in 2 minutes. Thanks so much!
2:48 minutes in, and that fixed my problem! Thank you!
mine was fixed when i tapped in your comment😀
@@rakuichijou4800the comment is a miracle
Can this solve the problem with my valve index (vr headset ) even tho when I tried plugging it into a friends pc I got the same issue ? So is my deceive just broken or would it be a Wort giving a try
what's your opinion iobit driver booster I know if you're using old or new hardware you can go and get the latest drivers from the manufacturer's or use the CD drivers that came with the hardware. is driver booster recommended as safe because I haven't seen any up-to-date reviews on the software
One thing I did was,
Go into Disk Management
I found out that my USB had unallocated space on it.
So I right clicked on where it said "Unallocated" and clicked on New Simple Task and just clicked NEXT all the way to the end. And after that I formated the USB device by right clicking on it and clicking on format.
And was recognized again. Hope this helps you guys. (Keep in mind that this will wipe clean your USB device)
It appears in 2019 Microsoft have concentrated more on spyware rather than software that can fix this driver problem automatically, unbelievable.
Hahahahahahahaha
Very helpful video...as it has happened to me and it's very annoying, because I'm a Dmx lighting designer...sometimes connecting the grandma2 command wing through usb causes problems..so yeah,cheers!
Thank you so much! I had a problem with my Steinberg eLicenser which was not recognised after a cold reboot until I physically reconnected the device when the computer was already finished booting. For me the problem was fixed when I tried Windows PowerShell. Cudos to you for sharing your knowledge, I highly appreciate it!
What's interesting though is (which I want to add to my previous writing) that it seems to also depend on which ports are being used. E. g. when I utilized the USB port inside my computer, the PowerShell diagnostic was not able to fix those problems which reappeared when I plugged the dongle into this port. Also it was not recognised when the port next to the eLicenser's was used by another USB device (in this case my iLok key). Very strange but now it works and I will refuse touching my hardware again.
Thanks for the "real life" videos. I have learned so much from you...
You're welcome
UPDATE: Thank you so much! Uninstalling as shown at 12:39 ish made it recognise it
Same lel
Wealth of information delivered patiently.. Really appreciate
Didn't get fixed by this, but fixed it during the video? does that count?
I had troubles with a rift s VR headset and all I had to do was push the plug that was connected into the rift s in a bit more since it'd came out a bit
Thanks for this amazing video, even it didn't solve my problem :)
omg thank you so much I couldn’t join my live class I was so stressed aaa this saved my grades
Edit: it started acting up again bruh
Hey my sd card cannot format and deleting and moving files fail how to fix this sd card?Window was unable to complete format fix no cmd works?Please help me
thank so much my headset wasnt working and when i uninstalled the driver then plugged my headset back in i heard some audio from it and i was overjoyed, thanks again.
Thank you, Brian!
You're welcome mate
This guy knows what he is doing!
Thanks, been doing I.T. a very long time.
thank you! you saved my life the day before school :)
how about a (port reset failed) problem? My portable hard drive fell off the computer, and I have a bad feeling I won't be able to get all my files back. I'm trying to get drivers for the device and hope that it helps.
Troubleshooter never EVER worked for me a single time in my life, my 8 years using windows. It couldn’t identify the problem
nice pfp
it works for me... but never fix anything
Thank you once again, Brian! Love you, brother!!
Thanks
Would this also be because of the port just being ‘worn out’ or damaged? Because i plugged the device into a different port and it worked fine, it also worked when i plugged it into a different computer.
Thank you for this video! Your style is very clear and concise, perfect for these tutorials!
I faced this issue while using an old wireless receiver for Xbox 360 controllers. Essentially, after some use, the receiver would be identified by windows as an unknown usb device, and I wouldn't be able to manually select the drivers for it as windows would automatically find the "best" drivers.
Turns out that uninstalling the device from the hidden devices list gets rid of the issue. So instead of an "unknown usb device" windows would only classify it as an "unknown device" which allowed me to manually pick the right drivers.
Not exactly the use case you described, but it worked nonetheless! I'll make sure to check out your other videos as well!
It’s telling me this for my new mouse and I can’t find drivers for it
Same 😥
Same
Same :(
sameee
same bro, I have a ,logitech G502.
Hey @Britec09, at 3:30-3:35 when you mention performing a search based on the USB's "ID code", I wish you had showed us how to perform said search; as I tried to do the search, but could find nothing.
same. just came up with a bunch of stuff about usb device not recognized
What about when it only sometimes recognizes the device? For instance I have (or at least had untill I got so mad with it that I smashed it) a webcam. Sometimes when I plugged it into the USB it worked fine, other times I'd plug it in and the computer hasn't a clue what it is. Every time I plugged that webcam in there was a 50/50 chance it would work.
2 minutes in and it works I cannot express how thankful I am thank you
I can’t even use my mouse to look at the options
Only did everything with keyboard too 😂
hzurti ong same i had to buy a new mouse 🤦🏽♂️😭
same dude
Same
same
You also see something like that when the device is to far away the computer and the voltage drop across the wire is to much, so you either self power with a 5 /12 volt power supply or use a USB hub Posted on Facebook Bye for now Cheers
Thanks
You just saved me from buying a new mic, thanks 🙏
my mouse is not even far and its doing this. This is why you don't buy used blue finger mouses
That one where you used Windows PowerShell worked for me. Thanks Mate!
How exactly did you conduct the search for the Huawei mobile?
Did you paste the copied ID into chrome and searched?
Thank you very very much! You really helped me with that video. If you ever visit Greece, let me buy you a cup of coffee for that :)
Dude you’re perfect
That device diags I've never seen. Does it have to run through powershell
Thank you show hidden devices and deleting the unrecognizable devices was my fix :)
After uninstalling my device and scaning for hardware changes, my keyboard works for 3 seconds, then it shut down.
it worked for a second when i restarted but then it was like usb device not recognized windows probably just hates me i guess
JPG same problem bro😭
my webcam works for like 5 mins then usb device not recognized, very sad life :(
@@markh9755 its the webcam itself not windows trust me
so i have a similar problem with my ADATA HV620 its reading but not inlistalizing. can i follow this
"Right click > uninstall device> action > scan for hardware changes" this is work for me. . Thanks
Thank you had this computer for 3 days and I thought I already destroyed it
l0l
Ur literally perfect
My keyboard stopped working I tried literally everything, in the end I just had to update my AMD motherboard and all it’s drivers through the main website and it worked. Thanks for the tip!
Omg thank you so much all other vids were showing delete the mise thingy and then restart, but it never worked. This video helped a lot thxx
I need this for my mouse to work and i dont have the mice and other pointing devices file so wish me luck guys
Same

Me to
none of ur idea is working for me..... I am just fed up cant do anything....
exactly, it's the complete same for me.
Same here. Tried everything. My laptop is now next to useless as I can't connect any devices to it. Mouse, headset, arduino....nothing, I'm so angry right now. It was all fine, then I had to do a restart for updates, then it instantly threw up the USB error :( It now sits there with nothing plugged in, going through endless cycles of telling me "a device was plugged it" (it wasnt) then followed byt the "device is not recognised" window...over and over again. Thanks microsoft.
@@BooktownBoy i plugg in my mouse and my laptop can't even find it...
My mouse still prompts the same issue after having done all the options. :( please help. Have the razer basilisk ultimate and the wireless receiver just keeps on prompting same code 43 error even after troubleshooting the drivers
when i turn my pc on my usb port doesnt recognise my wireless wifi? whys that, its either the usb port from the pc or the usb? is that correct
This is how many people looking for a solution on this problem.
Did you find a fix yet for it ???
@@keegzy4458 Not at all, i still trying since last week, but i will find it for sure, I'll tell you when i did.
@@mrgreen7754 Yh I have also been looking for a solution it's been 2 weeks! Yes plz do let me know if u find a solution
It’s my keyboard and mouse sooo I can’t do anything
PRAZ same
when looking into the hardware details its says usb detector failure so cant look it up this frustrating me and still wont sort out
does windows update have something to do with the device(usb) being unrecognized? i used to transfer files in windows 7 before without this error, but when i switched to windows 10 this error just showing up. And here;s the thing, when i am restoring my system my usb is now working fine.
HEY i bought a new mouse recently
first time it showed the error un recognised but next time it was fine. now it works sometime and other it shows the error. is it a hardware problem or a physical problem
Its probably a hardware problem, because its trying to be compatible with your device, same with my mic it works sometimes, but othertimes it doesnt currently it doesnt work anymore to any extent no matter what i do
thank you a lot! first step worked for me...
the re are bunch of videos and i searched again today, your video is old but gold! )
what about smi usb memory bar usb device ? it doesn't appear at this pc cannot read anything on the usb stick is the usb stick useless now? no drivers available no update fix
Thank you so much!!! All I had to do was to open device manger and finaly my s10 is recognised and I can use it as midi keyboard.
Nice video with lot of information. Helped me to find that elusive driver, tried and failed to connect measurement thingy to my laptop for 2 hours before i found your video. Kinda stupid how some manufacturers dont have drivers available to download on their sites.
Thank you so much!!! I thought I lost all my university files, scared as hell. But it worked!!! now My files are back. I'll need a backup drive soon
Thx for the vid, it really helped me out
thanks you so much man.... you really helped me a lot... much appreciated....you deserve the best.... the windows powershell thing fixed my problem.. my phone suddenly was not responsive.... from the USB like the same error... that fix did it.. thanks a lot.... I really hope your business flourish and you be a successful man... hope the best for you...
I have a Dell Optiplex Mt i7. I just installed a Host Controller Card with 3x USB 3.0 and 1 USB-C. Its plugged into the pcie slot and connected to the sata power 15 pin. It has the driver installed via the CD it came with. It IS detected by the PC and says it IS working properly. BUT when I plug anything in to any of the ports, it will read for a second then stop... then read again then stop. Sometimes just read then stop and thats it. What do I do???? Thanks.
Thanks a bunch! Windows did hide the troubleshooter "hardware and device" so I had to run it from the command prompt as you stated. Of course that is being hidden too
hey at around 7:15 - 7:20 you said to put in a radio button if it says unknown usb? just wondering what you meant thanks
Thanks, this is resolved my problem i think. Troubleshooting helped me. We are in 2021! Happy New Year and a like has been added to you video :)
Bro thank you so much, it fixed once I uninstalled the driver, I thought that it was a problem with my mouse and bought and new one, thank you, my problem is now fixed, you've earned a like and a new subscriber.
I figured it out on my own because the batteries on my xbox remote wasnt in all the way but I watched and it worked some how I love you
Thanks my dude! Very nice video, it helped me a lot :)
I have an ADATA HV620 external hard drive. Now my problem is that this message "Unknown Hardware" comes up whenever I plug it into any of the PC's 2 front USB hub. But when its plugged into the back of the PC (motherboard hubs) it works well. Please help!!! And yes the error is the same code 43.
