How to fix USB device not recognized in Windows

4:40:00 PM


      Are you getting a “USB device not recognized” error whenever you plug in a USB mouse, keyboard, or other USB device?


      Run - System Restore thinking that  maybe I had installed something and it caused a conflict with the USB system drivers. That didn’t work!
      Restarted the computer, reinstalled the USB drivers, but the problem STILL didn`t work!



      No need to edit the registry, uninstall drivers, or anything of that sort.
     Simply THE POWER UNPLUG YOUR COMPUTER FROM SUPPLY. Note that this does not mean just turning off your computer because modern computers don’t really turn off when you press the power button as the motherboard still gets power.
So first turn off your computer using Shut Down or pressing the power button and then UNPLUG it from the wall outlet. Let it sit for about a minute and then plug it back in.
 Sometimes the motherboard needs to be “rebooted” also because something can go wrong, i.e. all your USB ports suddenly stop working. The small microprocessor on the motherboard will reload the drivers and your USB ports should be back to recognizing all devices!
This help  tutorial will  fix that pesky “USB device not recognized” Windows error!
