    A request for the USB device descriptor failed


    I've had a bit of a story about this one controller that I am trying to get to work on my dell laptop. I get the following error when plugging it in "USB device not recognized The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it" The error first appeared about 3 months ago and it would only pop up about half the time, it was possible to fix the problem by replugging the controller. Then after a bit, it stopped being possible and the controller would always present this error. 2 months had passed and I was able to temporarily fix it by uninstalling

    :)

    Maybe it's time to step back from the current efforts, and start over. I suggest you read over this excellent tutorial and try all of its steps: [Solved] Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) for Windows 10 - Driver Easy. The one that may provide you with some easy relief is the one where you uninstall the device whose descriptor is failing, reboot, and see what happens when device enumeration recurs during boot-up. If you're lucky, it will fix itself.
