    Hi, im trying to run 2 monitors through my laptop. I have connected an external usb port to connect the docking station but it keeps saying USB not recognised - error 43. I have uninstalled, re installed, shut down, restarted, even bought a new docking station. nothing is fixing the "error code"

  2. Error 43 when connection to USB ports

    Hi,

    The Error code 43 implies that, windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. When you get this error with USB devices it’s because one of the drivers controlling the device notified the operating system that the device failed in some
    manner. This can be because of corruption in one of the loaded drivers and the driver cache just needs to be flushed. Unplugging the computer sometimes doesn’t resolve the problem because the battery still holds power.

    To resolve this, I suggest that you perform Power Drain and check. To do so follow the steps below

    • Unplug the charger and remove the battery of your laptop, if using a desktop remove the power cord.
    • Press and hold the Power button for 30sec
    • Plug the charger/power cord and restart system

    Hope this helps

    All external usb ports are disabled.

    All external usb ports are disabled except the SD card reader. No errors, no messages, device manager says all ports are operating normally. Updated all drivers, rebuilt BCD, fixmbr, fixboot, removed battery and unplugged from power, reinstalled win10
    . Performed fixes suggested on internet. HP P.O.S laptop works perfectly except for this. Problem exists from startup to shut down, not one error message! Looking at new laptops. Any suggestions?
