i cant find my device in devices

Hi Martin,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

1. Is that a USB 2.0 cable or the 3.0 cable which comes with the gaming device?
   
2. Have you plugged in the USB cable to the appropriate port?
   

However, you may want to try these steps one by one and check if that makes any difference.

Step1: Plug in the USB cable to a different and correct USB port and check the status.

Step 2: I suggest you to run hardware and devices troubleshooter and check if that helps.

1. Press the Windows + X, and click on Search.
   
2. Type troubleshooting and select Troubleshooting.
   
3. Click on Hardware and Sound and select Hardware and Devices and click on Next to run the troubleshooter.
   

Step 3: Remove and reinstall all USB controllers.

1. Open Device Manager by pressing Windows key + X and select Device Manager from the list. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
   
2. In the list of hardware categories, find and expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
   
3. Right-click every device under the Universal Serial Bus controllers node, and then click ‘Uninstall’ to remove them one at a time.
   
4. Restart the computer, and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.
   

Plug in the removable USB device, and then check to make sure that the issue is resolved.

Hope this helps.

Let us know if you got the help you needed by clicking ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

We appreciate your interest in Windows 10. The description suggests the issue could have occurred due to drivers issues. I suggest you to update the drivers for Smart TV as well as graphics card and check if that helps. Here is the steps:

• 
  Press Windows Key + R on your desktop screen to go to run command box.
  
• 
  Type devmgmt.msc and hit Enter.
  
• 
  Look for the specified drivers, expand, right-click the device drivers listed, and then click
  Update.
  

I would also have you check with a different cable and check.

Kindly share the results and write to us for further assistance and we'll be happy to help you.
