    USB Drivers (This device cannot start. (Code 10)).


    Hello,

    About 3 days ago, I was doing some normal browsing on my computer running Windows 10, version 1909.

    Suddenly, my computer went to a black screen and froze. I had to manually press the restart button.

    After that incident, my USB drivers are not loading. Luckily my mouse is working.

    To start my USB drivers, I need to manually disable them and then enable them.

    Why is this happening?

    USB to Serial Cable driver error; This device cannot start. (Code 10)

    Hello Tom,



    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We will assist you in resolving the issue.



    A Code 10 error is generated in Device Manager in one of the following situations:




    • Device Manager cannot start the device.

    • One of the drivers that the device needs does not start.

    • Device Manager has insufficient information to recognize the error that is bubbled up by the device driver.


    Note: In this situation, the Code 10 error can be a very generic message that indicates some kind of unspecified driver or device problem.



    I suggest you to refer to the link below on Fix: “This device cannot start” Code 10 error in Device Manager in Windows
    and check if it helps in resolving the issue.

    USB-Speakers, USB Composite Device Cannot start. (Code 10)

    Hello Monty,

    The code that you’re getting is a common driver error. This could sometimes mean that a driver for a specific device is failing to load which could be your smart card reader or other USB composite device. To isolate the issue, kindly provide us the following
    information:

    • Have you made any changes on your computer prior to the issue?
    • Have you installed the latest Windows updates?
    • Do you have any external other device connected via USB?
    • How did you update your USB Composite Device drivers?

    As an initial troubleshooting, we suggest that you follow the methods below:

    Method 1: Uninstall the Driver

    1. Go to Device Manager.
    2. Locate the device that is causing the code 10 error. Right-click it and select Uninstall on the context menu.
    3. When prompted to confirm the uninstallation, check the box next to “Delete the driver software for this device” and click the OK button.
    4. Restart your computer and check to see if the issue is resolved.

    Method 2: Update the driver

    You can update the driver manually by going to the manufacturer’s website for the device that has the code 10 error, and search for the most recent correct driver. You may also follow these steps on how to update the USB
    composite device driver via Device manager:

    1. Hit Windows key + R key together to open Run dialog box.

      Type devmgmt.msc in the box and hit Enter to open Device Manager.
    2. Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers dialog.

      Find and right-click on USB Composite Device.

      Then click Update Driver Software.
    3. Click Search automatically for updated driver software.

    After doing the said methods, check if the issue persists.
