• So my external hdd works fine on EVERY other pc but as soon as I plug it into mine it doesn’t work, in fact all my hdds don’t show up, I have tried just about everything I can, I’m so close to giving up lol

• What happens when you get the Hardware ID USBDEVICE_DESCRIPTOR_FAILURE? I've got a usb device that continues to disconnect and reconnect and it continues to bother me with the stupid audio ping. I've attempted to do everything from uninstalling the device/port/hub and editing settings in the registry. Any advice?

• I just had this not too long ago, it turns out that my Windows driver manager was corrupted and the only way to fix it is to either reinstall Windows or Backup Restore. Hope this helps those who gets an error code of 53 or Windows is still configuring the device error. There's unfortunately no way around that issue unless you dig deep enough to find the corrupted sub system and replace it with a copy of a freshly installed Windows' version. Which I didn't have at that time nor did I have the time to investigate. Hope this helps someone.

• For me I'm trying to connect my iPhone 13 Pro Max to my PC via USB cable and it keeps telling me USB device not recognized. I've tried multiple things on YouTube and still no go. At this point I've just about had it up to here with these fucking iPhones and they're complicated ridiculous as programs and software you would think that by now they would have made their phones and shit simple and easy like Samsung but again it's Apple. Going to stick with my Samsung s24 Ultra and sell this piece of shit

• For me it is web pages like Facebook or Youtube etc…i get alerts from Facebook that i am signing in under a unrecognized device and same with Youtube where i have to get a code.

• Yes it happened to me when I upgraded my windows 7 to 11 everything seems to work perfectly but not the fingerprint

• hi I am having problems connecting my Xbox elite 2 controller I have been trying to sort it for the few days now and everything i do it does not work was wondering do you have any advice to help me please i just want to play Fortnite and GTA again

• for me i’m having a problem where both my keyboards stopped working and when i tried uninstalling, updating the devices and even doing a factory reset both devices still didn’t work. when i plugged my keyboard into another device it worked just fine

• After a new ssd and a fresh install of windows 10 on an HP laptop the keyboard characters weren’t all correct. I downloaded the additional windows driver updates and after many restarts I saw the keyboard was installed but still not working properly. I then changed the keyboard layout to querty and set the language to American US on all the keyboard settings and that solved my issues. 😊

• After installing a new asus z690 (in my case) motherboard, you get 4 unknown pcie devices and one unknown controller. Installing intel chipset driver resolves all but unknown controller device.
  It looks like it needs intel raid storage driver which is at Asus website.

  BUT, a search reveals this should be installed before the O/S.

  Copilot states that you can install driver after but there is a chance it will destroy the O/S.

  Is it safe to install this with O/S installed already???

• what if there is no device but im getting this error

• my problem is the USB root hub I uninstall it and sometimes it work but only for awhile. it was working just fine until I took my pc to get fixed (it was slow he changed one of the disks) and the Bluetooth wasn't there so I download it. after that huion wasn't recognized .

• How to i setings my pc .mouse and keyboard not work to open menu..all usb port not read in my pc

• genuinely saved me. Thanks Linus!

• I have tablet I'm getting unknown device I'm suing it down

• Yellow sign on firmware so can will be firmware uninstall as the yellow sign on firmware update creates a tremendous rukus to me by giving me a problem during restarting and one time machine becomes crash due to tis😢

• i dont have the "other devices" option

• Bro i mistakely deleted the port what to do now😢

• Windows i a bi… when it comes to update drivers. I have evrything turned off but sometimes it just says idk i just upgrade this driver couse freak you. Since i have old USB-COM adapter i is detecting it as "This is NOT original device!", so i have to keep old drivers from XP era for it to work but this mother freaker (win 10) just randomly updates it either way like once in a year…

• gracias me ayudaste!

• Linus, you for got to mention "copy protection" drivers (a virtual device) that can cause such errors as well …

• My arduino uno is not being detected 😭

• Thank you Linus my WIFI was not working for like 5 years now its working😍

• So Windows really hasn't changed much since last time I used it (like 15+ years ago).

• On my lenovo legion 5 17ACH6H, the built in camera usually does not function, and it will appear as the yellow device in device manager. Sometimes though, it will function for a little bit off bootup but then later on it will disconnect and appear yellow again unrecognized

• I've been living with the weirdest USB driver issue on Windows 10.
  1. When I connect any USB device or USB storage or even a Wireless Keyboard USB connector, it is not recognised, showing a yellow warning on the device.
  2. The only workaround I found is to uninstall it from Device Manager, then click on Search for New Hardware to refresh the list.
  3. The irony is that, this will have that device working until I restart Windows! On Bios the devices work perfectly, I can even use my wireless keyboard without any problems (Plug-and-Play), but once I enter Windows it goes to Yellow warning ⚠️.
  4. Every time I restart I need to manually stop the Windows Audiopoint Service and start it manually, and start the WLAN Auto Configuration service.

  Have you ever seen that? How do you think it can be solved?

• Be aware (I think on techquickie everybody does) that there is a lot of fake "drivers sites" which have a lot of devices IDs and trying to lure a user to install bad soft, from just almost harmless ads to virus and trojans and so on.

• Haven't seen this since windows 7 and 8

• Funny thing, but you can load an old drivers for your ancient software even if it's officially isn't supported. Any Vista drivers work fine in W7, W8.1, W10, etc.

  I have a very old Canon scanner, still chugging along at the office. I used to work on XP SP3, but when that ancient PC upgraded to Win10 (thanks for the printer spooler thing, Microsoft!), I found out while XP/Vista drivers did work in W10, the scanning program itself was not. I believe it's used IE6 as runtime, or something. The solution? Cannon got a new and fancy app in Windows Store, and accepted used the old XP/Vista driver without any issues. I believe, even the scan warmup sequence is faster now!

• wow that was super useful.

• I use a little program called "Unknown Device Identifier 9.01" By Huntersoft…saves me all that headache,

• My ethernet drive is an unknown device…..

• I hope that this will help me , as my laptop isn't detecting my GALAXY phone….!!! ☹☹☹

• You can check hardware ID in deive manager, then get the driver in case something failed.

• if you're getting this issue with any amd gpu or onboard graphics, try installing the newest software for the device, it tends to just be a software not properly updating and so the drivers and software is out of sync and it breaks.

• So much easier than just update your … No, you just hate Linux, sorry to say… Windows is so much easier! Just do this obvious things you tell people…
  Sorry, but this is just silly now… "Plum out of luck, or brain?
  How is this any different from NO I'M NOT GOING TO UPDATE ANYTHING when you install anything Linux, and now you tell people to jump through hoops to get Windows working?
  Where's that video of installing Windows, without any knowledge?
  I can do it for you! But you don't like that, do you…. I dare you! I bite my thumb at you!
