    a request for device descriptor request failed


    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.

  3. problem needs help Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    I understand the inconvenience you are facing in Windows. We will help you.

    A device driver notified the operating system that the device failed. This circumstance can occur if the device hardware fails or if the device driver fails.

    • Did you make any recent changes prior to the issue?
    • What is the make and model of your PC?
    • How are you connecting the TV to Computer?
    Lets try the below steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1: I suggest you to run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter
    and check if the issue persists.

    • Press Windows Key +R, type Control Panel, hit Enter.
    • Type Troubleshooting in the search box and select
      troubleshooting
      .
    • Click on Hardware and Devices troubleshooter.
    • Follow the On Screen steps and check if it helps.
    Step 2: I suggest you to update the drivers from the device manager
    and check if it helps.

    Refer: How to update the drivers from device manager

    Keep us posted to help you better.
