Windows 10: Device Descriptor Request Failed blocking keyboard

Hi everyone!

I have an Alienware Area 51m and I'm experiencing a very weird and frustrating problem that, searching on the internet, I found being very common, but no given solution seems to work.

When I boot windows sometimes the keyboard stops randomly to work, when this happen two sometimes three "Unknown USB Device Device Descriptor Request Failed" appear in Device Manager and keyboard driver disappears.

This is very annoying because it occur during the session, after some time, and totally random.

This is definitely a windows problem and not an hardware problem, because in GRUB/Ubuntu keyboard always works.

I have already talked with Dell technician, they tried everything they could think but nothing works, finally they proposed to change my keyboard/motherboard, but I have read of people with my same problem who accepted and that didn't solve the problem.

I have already tried different solutions, like reinstalling windows, updating all drivers, updating windows, turn off fast startup, disable the USB unrecognized but nothing works.

Help is well accepted!

:)

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.
