Windows 10: USB port performs a bus reset during communication

Hi,


I am seeing USB bus resets when I have communication with a USB device causing data transmission failure. There is nothing in the event log that indicates a problem or even show an event that could correspond to the bus reset.

The problem is primarily seen on Windows 10 Home systems but is not limited to Home edition. Selective suspend is disabled and the device has disabled enhanced power management in the descriptor.

If the device is connected directly to a PC the problem occurs less frequently than if a hub powered is inserted. The device gets reconfigured automatically after the bus reset and is accessible afterwards.


Just to make it clear. The device is detected correctly and works correctly except for the odd bus resets interrupting communication. It is a USB bus reset that is host originated that I am seeing.


Any ideas to why this is happening?


Kind regards,

Christian

USB ports

Hi Frank,

Inserting and removing a USB device repeatedly may cause the USB port to stop responding. When the port is in this state, it no longer recognizes any USB device, and the USB device will not work.

Here are few things that you can do to resolve the issue:

Use Device Manager to scan for hardware changes. After your computer scans for hardware changes, it might recognize the USB device that is connected to the USB port so that you can use the device.

To scan for hardware changes, follow these steps:

• Click Start, and then click Run.
  
  Note If you are running Windows Vista, click Start, and then use the Start Search box.
• Type devmgmt.msc, and then click OK. Device Manager opens.
• In Device Manager, click your computer so that it is highlighted.
• Click Action, and then click Scan for hardware changes.
• Check the USB device to see whether it is working.

Turn off Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

• In the Device Manager dialog box, expand Universal Serial Bus controllers, right-click USB Root Hub, and then click Properties.
• In the USB Root Hub Properties dialog box, click the Power Management tab. Uncheck the
  Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
  box.
  

Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested troubleshooting steps.
