    Windows 11 fingerprint sensor not working. Device descriptor failed. - Microsoft CommunityThe problem is identical actually except it's on Windows 10. Any help would really be appreciated because it actually gets fixed at some update and somehow the next update brings it back to square 1. I already tried reinstalling the driver, and the 'conventional' means of fixing it. Idk what else to do. Here's the system info if it helps I guess:

    a request for device descriptor request failed

    Maybe it's time to step back from the current efforts, and start over. I suggest you read over this excellent tutorial and try all of its steps: [Solved] Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) for Windows 10 - Driver Easy. The one that may provide you with some easy relief is the one where you uninstall the device whose descriptor is failing, reboot, and see what happens when device enumeration recurs during boot-up. If you're lucky, it will fix itself.
