How to fix "USB device not recognized"
Hi,
A couple of days ago, I started getting a "USB Device Not Recognized" error with my two USB 2.0 ports from devices that previously worked for those ports (e.g. my mouse and flash drive). They're still working on my USB 3.0 port, but not the two USB 2.0 ports. When I click into the properties for the "Unknown Device" that shows up after I plug anything into the USB 2.0 ports, it says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"
I think I started getting the error after I plugged in a new laptop fan that I got. It failed to install the driver for the fan and has been giving this error ever since.
I've tried taking out the battery and leaving the computer overnight, system restore, and I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the hubs through device manager. But nothing is working so far.
I have an HP Pavilion dm4.
Any help is appreciated! Thank you!
