    'The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it'


    This has just started happening since the last Windows update. The Laptop is fully up to date with the manufacturer's software. Every 2-3 second the warning pops up and the machine makes a warning noise plus the USB connect / disconnect sound.



    The only device plugged in is a USB-C docking station which is working normally. There is a USB keyboard / mouse and camera plugged into the docking station.


    On device manager there are no yellow warning triangle against anything.

    I have uninstalled the USB root hubs and restarted the computer

    sfc /scanow has been sun

    USB notifications have been turned off in USB settings - this stopes the warning notice but not the continued connection / disconnection sound


    Out of ideas now.

    USB Devices not recognised.

    I have two devices that regularly are not properly recognized by Windows 10 one is a Garmin GPS and the other is a DJI Phantom Drone. In the case of the Garmin the USB Drives are recognised by Windows (Confirmed using USBDEVIEW) but the software does
    not recognise the device and continues to search for it.

    In the DJI case it seems to recognise the device but the software cannot access the Drone information i.e. Version Numbers etc. It also often reports errors on the SD Card inserted into the Drone but no errors are reported if the SD Card is inserted into
    a card reader.

    Any suggestions that I can try would be appreciated.

    Hi Kyle,

    You may receive this error if one of your USB connected devices is not properly recognized by the system. Let's try the troubleshooting steps provided by
    Krishna Prasobh V on this
    thread

    In addition, we suggest that you turn off the notifications from the USB by following these steps:

    • Open Settings by typing "settings" in Cortana's search box.
    • Click on Devices.
    • Locate USB and toggle the switch to Off.
    Keep us updated with the status of your concern and we'll be glad to assist you further.
