    USB device keeps going to an error state Compliance (Z170X chipset)


    I had to reinstall windows 10 because the size of the OS became ridiculous large.
    And in time i have installed many programs to find a solution for whatever i was busy on, we all know that almost every program leaves alot of residue behind. Which even good cleaning programs do not clean up often as well. So your system keeps growing. Second reason was my boot drive plextor nvme m8peg was extreme slow and i had send it for repair ( about 3 months ago) so i decided to buy a new boot drive and got myself a samsung 970 evo 1 tb, and installed the os. After a few days i noticed that the system did not goto sleep as it did before. So i kept fiddling with the powerplan settings, but did not have time to dive deeper into the system.
    So after a few months i thought lets dig deeper because this is abnormal because i also noticed some crackling sounds when i used my 16 GB ramdrive and noticed the warning by the usb section.
    As everyone else does you start trying installing the drivers and seek the solution in that.
    But now i remember i had this issue before and i kinda remember an update of windows solved this before.
    So i kept trying to solve it, but after some time i had enough and thought lets reinstall all and see if that helps " wrong USB device keeps going to an error state Compliance (Z170X chipset) :)" so i formatted the drive and started from scratch. Problem still there and no real solution to be found besides silly batch file usage which does not solve anything.
    So i still am struggling with this issue and can't find a solution, lack of funds prevents me from going shopping to buy new parts holds me back. So i try to resolve this weird issue which popped up after i reinstalled windows. Gigabyte and others have no drivers available for windows 10 for usb because they all rely on the OS having them already it seems. I tried installing the windows 7 x 64 drivers but they do nothing and get overruled by the os drivers the second you reboot.
    I have tried pulling out every usb device on and in my system to see if that could fix the issue even though i knew better. Since its a host controller giving this issue.
    There is a possibility that it might be related to the fact that i have 2 nvme drives installed and 2 normal ssd's.
    I need both the large ssd's because for my games and even though skyrim and skyrim se are old games i still am hooked on them. Why everybody thinks they are not demanding skyrim se { 4K graphics } is heavily modded and currently is not even fully modded as i want it. It is already using currently near 160 GB diskspace. When i am done modding it will be over 200 Gb for sure
    Thats ofcourse only those 2 i have a few hundred games and ofcourse only install those which are played often. Anyway if i had the money i would replace the machine with a brand new cpu and motherboard but since both my spouse and i are sick the medical costs do not allow me to buy anything in coming years.
    I have been running the tool from the site to show the needed info from this machine

    Please understand that i have a very severe short term memory problem so to do things i need a very explicit guide which helps me to do what is needed. If i have to go to other places i probably will end up no longer remembering what i had todo. I constant have to check that directions (generally 10 times or more) to get something done.

    :)

  2. Unknown USB Device (Link In Compliance Mode) Gigabyte GA-Z170X-G 7


    Hello!
    I'm running Windows 10 Pro on a self-built desktop, and nearly every time I log in, I get a "The Last USB device you plugged in experienced an error". It's very annoying. I'm certain this stems from an Unknown USB device in my device manager. To be specific, it says "Unknown USB Device (Link In Compliance Mode)". I know that in normal situations, you'd simply unplug and re-plug whatever device was having the issue. Problem is, I can't figure out what device this is referring to! I've unplugged everything, one device at a time, to see if that listing removed itself. Nothing. I even made sure to test with the devices using internal USB headers for case USB ports, media card reader, etc. I can remove ALL my USB devices, and that device listing is still there. I'm guessing it's some sort of integrated motherboard USB device. My bios and all my device drivers, including USB drivers are up to date. The properties for this entry in the device manager says the following:----------Unknown USB Device (Link In Compliance Mode) Device Type: Universal Serial Bus ControllersManufacturer: (Standard USB Host Controller)Location: Port_#0022.Hub_#0001 Device Status:Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)The SuperSpeed link to the USB device keeps going to an error state Compliance. If the device is removable, remove the device and then disable/enable from device manager to recover.----------Under "Details" I checked the Hardware ID, hoping there'd be something, but all that says is: "USB\PORT_LINK_COMPLIANCE_MODE" If I uninstall the device, it shows back up shortly, even if I haven't touched my USB ports. I do suppose I could Disable the device. But I'd like to save that as a last resort. I'd like to think I did a decent job of digging on my own for this, but now I need some help!My basic PC specs are below, please feel free to ask me any more details you might need. Thanks in advance!

    EDIT: I've been told before that this is an issue with the Thunderbolt 3/ USB Type C port on this motherboard, and while I've attempted to flash the newest firmware updates, I'm unable to tell if they're successful, and the USB errors remain. Please help, thanks! *Biggrin PC Specs:CPU: Intel Core i7 6700KRAM: 32GB DDR4GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 980MOBO: Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 (Rev: 1.0) With latest firmware)Boot SSD: Samsung 500GB SATAStorage HDD: Western Digital 3TB HDDCase: Corsair 650DOS: Windows 10 Pro

  3. there is nothing plugged in my usb and the notifications persist usb in compliance mode

    The error code is 43 with the message: The SuperSpeed link to the USB device keeps going to an error state Compliance. If the device is removable, remove the device and then disable/enable from device manager to recover.

    There is nothing connected to the usb, but the error remains Unknown USB Device (Link in Compliance Mode).How can I delete the log file from that USB port?What should I delete from the registry?I've
    tried everything new dword, etc, USB power management.Thank you.

    USB device keeps going to an error state Compliance (Z170X chipset)

    Unknown usb device link in compliance mode error code 43 device manager

    I have an internal multi media card reader that worked until the major update to Windows 10. It now shows "unknown usb device (link in compliance mode)" I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling, replugging it, reinstalled chipset drivers and made sure all
    others are up to date. I still have the same error with code 43. Driver for this device says none required or installed. Where do I go to next?
