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...!
Thank you! I've been looking for a fix, watched many UA-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!
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)
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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 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!
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.
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
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.
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!
If there is a lesson to be learned here is that Hardware and Software are not reliable as we used to think they are, at all. Anything can change at any time for any reason, it could even be a missing letter in a code. Incredible.. and I've worked with PCs for years now seeing Windows as the good old reliable OS it is (it is not).
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.
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!
First . go to control panel and search administration tool without clicking on that application Second. There will be an option for. Create and format hard disk partitions , click on it Third. Scroll or it will be there name of your usb drive. Fourth. Right click and click on format Then press ok. Done . by the way you can go on disk management instead of this long process
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.
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!
I was having issues with my external HD's connected through a powered USB 3 hub. Windows just stopped detecting it. The thing that worked for me was: Device Manage > View > Show Hidden Devices > uninstall all greyed out USB items > reboot. My HD's have been working smoothly ever since. Not saying this will work in your particular case, but have a look and see if you have any greyed out USB devices listed.
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.
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!!
Woah woah, at 3:36 I felt you skipped a lot of steps. I right clicked un the 'unknown driver' and went into Events and Information, and then suddenly you knew it was the phone driver. How exactly? I've done a search for your USB ID (and mine) and nothing specific came up.
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.
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...
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.
Another type of problem that may accrue is putting a USB 3.0 Into a USB 2.0, and most of the time it will still work, but if possible always put them into there respective USB Type's, I was just having a similar problem because I was doing exactly what I just talked about, and as soon as I put it I to the correct USB Type, Bam it worked fine with no issues. So this is an option as well if it applies to you!
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.

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" 🤣🤣

since you spend so much time helping us with windows maybe Micro Soft should pay you for your services
That would be awesome lol

Yeah that is very common, some USB that run on USB power can cause that issue
2 minutes in and it works I cannot express how thankful I am thank you
Thanks Brian - Great video with great tips, ideas and solutions! Have a great week!
Cheers John, you too
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.
