Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) in windows 10 system

[DSand11]

Hi,

For the last month or so I've been getting an error in Device Manager/Universal Serial Bus USB Hub - Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) - properties reveals:

'Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43). A request for the USB device descriptor failed'.

My system is a NUC5i7RYH kit. I have the latest BIOS, and all drivers are up to date.

I have a Microsoft Wireless Comfort 5000 keyboard and Mouse connected to the wireless receiver which is in NUC front USB3 port.

I have two NexStar AC powered USB3 7x ports Hubs connected to NUC rear USB3 ports:

In NexStar Hub 1, I have attached:

1x AC powered Nexstar Dual HDD Dock,

1x external, Hub powered DVDRW.

In NexStar Hub 2, I have attached:

1x Brother J430W MFC, and

1x Epson R310 printer.

Whenever I use the NexStar HDD dock, I get severe mouse lag (whether being used or not). When the dock is turned off, there is no lag.

My question then is, how do I fix the Code 43 problem, as above? I assume that once that is fixed, I should not suffer the lag.

Hi DacorDave,

According to your description it seems to be a compatibility issue. I suggest you to verify if you are using the latest drivers for the

Microsoft Wireless Comfort 5000 keyboard and Mouse, select Windows® 10, 64bit

NexStar Hard Drive Dock documentation talks about compatibility with Windows® XP, Vista , 7 and 8. It is necessary to confirm with the manufacturer if there is any diver available for Windows® 10.

I suggest you to narrow down the issue. Unplug all USB devices from the NUC; then, plug the keyboard and mouse to the NUC, install the latest Microsoft® driver and check if you are getting any error message in device manager. Make sure you already have the BIOS version 0354 and latest Chipset, Me and USB3.0 drivers.

Then, plug one by one USB devices to the NUC and check if it is recognized properly by the NUC. If not, check if USB device manufacturer has a newer driver or firmware.

Well, if you're getting unknown USB device (device descriptor request failed) error then I recommend you to Change the USB Selective Suspend Settings by following these steps:

• In the Power Options click the Show additional plans.
• Then select Change settings that are currently unavailable > High performance > Change plan settings > Change advanced power settings. 
• After that locate USB settings and expand it.
• Expand the USB selective suspend setting. Disable both On battery and Plugged in settings.
• Now, click an Apply button and restart the system.

After using this method, you must resolve Device Descriptor Request Failed error for Windows 10.
