Windows 10: USB Device Charging Problem

I recently started having an issue charging my Anker Soundcore Life Q20 headphones.

I am using an older Dell 620 Desktop that has been updated to Win10 Home.


Previously, I would plug the headphones into a USB port for charging with a micro USB cable without problem.

Now, when connected, the 'USB Device Not Recognized' alert appears, and then disappears after a couple seconds. This happens repeatedly, and will only stop when the headphones are disconnected.

I opened the Device Manager and note that under the USB section, an entry with an error icon appears briefly and then disappears. This also happens repeatedly while the headphones are connected. If I right-click quickly while the entry appears, I can see that the error code 43 A USB port reset request failed is reported while visible. After the entry disappears, the error code 45 device not connected is reported.


I have tried all available USB ports with the same behavior.

I have tried multiple micro-USB cables with the same behavior.

The headphones can be charged on a different Windows 10 computer, or a wall charger, without problems.

I have updated the drivers for all of the usual suspects in the USB connections section of Device Manager. Same behavior.

I have unistalled all of the usual suspects in the USB connections section of Device Manager. After restart, same behavior.

The above 2 attempts done with all devices removed exept for USB keyboard & mouse

I have changed the power management settings on the Root USB entries in Device Manager. Same behavior.

I have performed a Windows Recovery to a date prior to the issue starting. Same behavior.


I am out of ideas on what to try next, and I have not come across anyone experiencing the same behavior on-line.

Please advise me on what I may try next.

Thank You

:)

USB charging

@skaterbuoy

• the particular url u provide is for a usb charging cable
• though u have got an usb charger cable it is not possible to get each and every phone charge by the cable.
• the particular phone must have provision for usb charging, in other words the device should have been calibrated for usb charging.
• examples. Nokia E75 has the provision for usb charging but X6 dosen' have that provision.
