Windows 10: Hoc can I connect 2 usb devices together that are both plugged in to a pc?

For example, what if I wanted to connect a usb stick directly to my phone but through the pc ports? Like skip the pc (almost altogether and they ignore the pc to interact with each other).

USB Connected device not found by PC

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand how difficult it is, when the device doesn't work in the way it should. I appreciate the troubleshooting steps that you've tried so far.



Since you tried the same PS4 controller on a different laptop and failed to connect, resetting the system is not required and assuming that it could be a hardware related issue.



In this scenario, we would suggest you to try these methods and let us know the result of these methods.



Method 1: Steps to reset PS4

1. Turn back the controller.
   
2. You should see a tiny reset button. It must be close to the L2 button.
   
3. Use a pen or a needle and push the button for 10 seconds.
   
4. Connect the controller and check

Method 2: Update HID in Device Manager.

1. Press Windows + X and click on
   Device manager.
   
2. Click on View tab on the top. Select
   Show hidden devices.
   
3. Search & Expand Human Interface Devices and then check for
   HID-complaint game controller.
   
4. Right Click on it and select Uninstall.
   
5. Restart the PC and plug in the USB PS4 controller to install automatically.

Method 3: Set the PS4 as default app.

1. Press Windows +R key from the keyboard to open Run command.
   
2. Type joy.cpl and click OK.
   
3. Select the PS4 controller in the list and click on Advanced tab below.
   
4. Then select the PS4 controller as preferred device and click OK.

However, you can also refer this Error:
“USB Device not recognized” when you try to access a USB external hard drive article to troubleshoot, please exclude method 1 and 2 as they are not relevant to PS4.



We await your response.

BSOD driver_corrupted_expool plugging in USB device


Hi Wendelly,

As you say it is from your USB ports, but I have 2 questions regarding this.

1. Does a BSOD occur with every (should working) device you're trying to connect via USB?
2. Does a BSOD occur when a device is connected on different USB ports?

 

unknown device USB

Hi Ali,

In most cases, this issue can be caused by either an unstable/ corrupt USB controller or your computer's drivers need to be updated.

For us to isolate the possibilities, we suggest that you perform the following troubleshooting steps in succeeding order:

• Connect your USB drive to a different port. Alternatively, try to connect it to a different PC.
• Connect a different USB drive to your PC.
• Unplug your USB drive and restart your system. Afterwards, plug it in and see if it works. If the same issue occurs, perform a complete shutdown and wait for a few minutes before turning it on again.
  
• Update your drivers.

If you find that the USB drive still doesn't work even after performing all these suggestions, this is most likely pointing to a hardware issue. Thus, it would be best to get in touch with your device manufacturer for a thorough check of the device.

If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to post back and let us know.
