doesn't work for may people, you can change the title of the video now, it is NOT 100% working.

[Flufi_Noelle]

didnt work for me, do you know any other ways?

[MarkP_Fan]

This video may well be THE solution for many except for one fatal flaw...
at 2:51 the big yellow banner directs us to UNPLUG, RESTART, PLUG-IN BACK USB DEVICE (which, of course, should be Plug Back In)
but the problem is that the error is an UNKNOWN USB Device with a failed Device Descriptor. In other words, we're not told which device is having the problem.
how would we know which USB device to unplug, reboot, and plug back in

Genius! I have searched the internet for this for a long time. Brilliant tutorial. No steps like these anywhere to be found, well done Sir.

[LaMangouste]

Incredible that Microsoft can't even manage to fix that issue. Thanks for tutorial, worked for me!

Come on! Instructions in the video tell you to restart the computer but then you lose the YouTube video and can't continue with the instructions. You should have the instructions typed out in text form so we can print it out or at least take a screen shot and save it to the desktop. Watching a video while trying to work on the same screen is causing problems.

I tried your solution and it didn't work, I also have tried updating the bios, reinstalling windows, updating the drivers and all the other solutions that I've seen online and none of them work. Do you have something else I can try? Thanks

[Linx-jvym]

Will this work if the error message only happens when using the USB in a dock (it works fine if the usb is directly in laptop)? If yes, does the USB need to be in the dock when making the changes to the registry?

[suchAdrag]

it worked but USB 2.0 devices not working in the same port.

There are a lot of other variables in each sitution that could affect the outcome.

Looking through the comments -- some of these probably did get fixed with this specific process.
Others it could be just a result of a RESTART. Some will have their issues come back.

When you have an error like this, it can be anything from a driver to things like overheating circuits, shorts, poor connections (internally as well, like ribbon cables).

We have an issue with a specific piece of hardware (all the same laptop model) -- only a percentage of them throw the DevMgmt Unknown USB Device error. But it's many of them still. We tried to apply this fix to a good number of them. Some it 'fixed', some it didn't. However, it's an intermittent issue and it comes and goes.

Some of them fix just with a reboot. Others with a BIOS re-flash. We're leaning toward the issue being with Power Management settings, and that's why we pursued this Registy fix -- but it hasn't worked for all of them (we're at about 50%) -- which probably means it was some other thing that actually fixed it (like just a reboot, after UPTIME of several days).

Still looking -- THAT SAID -- Thanks to the OP for the advice. And to those saying "this didn't fix it" -- well, sure -- but why? This is the mystery :)

Need some help or advise, I wanted to use a USB for my car mp3 player. I formatted it under exFAT and files in mp3 however it was giving an error. So I googled and discovered it is probably due to the partition type, so I changed it from GPT to MBR. Now my PC can detect the usb but cannot access it, it cannot even format...

[dreamstatex]

Worked until the usb was unplugged and plugged back in, any advice on persistence?

[spirittouchrecords]

Did not work, but it seems we pushed the usb port too far inside the laptop and it got damaged because of it. Will need to replace the i/o board.

[berendvanoosterom]
