Windows 10: Windows 10 is not recognizing new USB devices.

I have a new card reader that does not install when I plug it into a USB port on my computer. This device does not have any problems when I plug it into my laptop. I have also unplugged a known working USB device into the USB port that is having problems and that device works fine in the other port. When plug the card reader into the USB port that the known USB device was in, I have the same problem. Device Manager does nothing when I plug it in. There is not even any kind of an error message that displays. I have uninstalled the USB Controllers in Device Manager and that didn't help. I have also plugged in other devices and they are not recognized either, but they have no problems when I plug them into my laptop. I have installed all of the Windows updates and believe that this started after one of the updates was applied, but I don't know which update.

Some USB Devices not recognized in Windows 10

Hi have Windows 10 Pro insider preview 10532 64bit Pro Intel i7 desktop PC.

I have multiple USB devices connected, USB 3 & 2. The USB HDD is working however my Samsung phone and kindle are no longer being recognized. The steps followed so far:

• Uninstalled all USB devices in device manager including controllers
• Flashed BIOS to latest version
• Updated USB drivers for the devices from manufacturers sites
• Tried new USB cables

Please note: both devices are recognized by my Windows 10 Lenovo laptop.

I really don't want to fresh install, please suggest any diagnostics I can try.

Thanks

USB sound/midi device not recognized

I have a Technics PR804 keyboard attached to my Windows 10 laptop through USB. I've installed the drivers that came with my keyboard by entering compatibility mode to Windows ME, but the device manager won't recognize the hardware when it's turned on and
plugged into my laptop. I've seen instructions online indicating that device manager should identify the keyboard as a sound device, and that I should be able to choose folder location for correct driver, but can't complete this step as device manager does
not list the keyboard as an available device.

Any suggestions?
