  1. Unknown USB Device Error 43


    I've been playing around 6 years with my xbox 360 wireless receiver https://www.amazon.com.mx/Microsoft-Wireless-Gaming-Receiver-accessories/dp/B000HZFCT2 on my pc but some days ago i received on my pc the message "Unknown USB Device Device Descriptor Request Failed" when i connect the xbox 360 wireless receiver in the Usb port. I have searched the internet for solutions but nothing works. Has the receiver died?

  2. Unknown USB Device Error code 43

    Hello! I'm having quite some difficulty figuring out what's causing this, I hope someone can help me sort this out. So out of nowhere, one day I started my PC in the morning and got a pop up window saying that a USB device was unable to install. I head to Control Panel and find it listed under "Unspecified" and it's named "Unknown device". I click it and go to the "Hardware" tab and see it says "Universal Serial Bus Controller". It says this beside Location: "Port_#0001.Hub_#0003" and this for Device Status: "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" and lastly, the producer is Microsoft apparently and this is the Driver Date: 21/06/2006.

    One very strange thing, however, is that my PC waits at the manufacturer boot screen way longer than usual. I look through my PC and while I'm in the manufacturer logo screen my Motherboard has a digital number showing "98". After I pass the manufacturer logo screen however, I boot normally fast. (I'm guessing it's not the SSD since the code 98 means it's searching for something? Normally it would be A1 or A2 or something I don't remember). I had recently (Not even a week ago) installed an SSD and my boot speeds were amazing and they still are, it's just this manufacturer logo screen that takes a long time.

    Motherboard:

    AsRock Fatal1ty Z68 Professional Gen3

    Things I've tried:

    Checked driver updates for it in control panel
    Installed drivers from my motherboard CD
    Checked windows update (nothing)
    Plugged and unplugged all USB devices (Issue still persisted)

    USB Devices plugged in currently:

    Logitech Mouse
    Razer Keyboard
    Logitech Webcam
    HP D110 Printer

  4. Unknown USB Device Error 43

    Code 43 USB device not recognised

    Hi Vishnu,

    Thank you for posting in Community, we understand your concern and we will try our best to help you resolve the issue.

    Error Code 43 is a Device Manager error that means the following:

    Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43).

    When you get this error with USB devices it’s because one of the drivers controlling the device notified the operating system that the device failed in some manner. This can be because of corruption in one of the loaded drivers and the driver cache just
    needs to be flushed. An alternative to resolve this issue is to perform
    Power Drain
    , to do so follow the steps below

    • Unplug the charger and remove the battery of your laptop, if using a desktop remove the power cord.
    • Press and hold the Power button for 30sec.
    • Plug the charger/power cord and restart system

    I would also suggest that you refer to the Microsoft Article provided in the link below for more troubleshooting methods

    Hope this information helps.
