How to fix Error Code 43 if your USB device is not recognized.

The error Code 43 means the device manager has stopped USB device because the hardware or the driver have reported to Windows that it has some kind of issue. You will see this error message in Device Manager when the USB Device is not recognized:
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
Fix USB Device not Recognized Error Code 43

USB Device not recognized
Unrecognized USB device in Device Manager
USB Device driver software was not successfully installed
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems.(Code 43)
Windows can’t stop your “Generic volume” device because a program is still using it.

Thank you yes this helped

My expensive mechanical keyboard stopped working all of a sudden, and I was worried I would have to spend big bucks to replace it. I followed this guide and by right clicking my generic USB hubs, and reinstalling the drivers, it fixed my problem and now my keyboard works again. Thanks!

[@embergamedev]

The problem with this error is it could stem from many different areas. This video (and so many others) failed to fix my issue, although they had the right thought behind them and if you properly followed those fixes and still didn't get it fixed try this: Update something called your ACPI drivers (advanced configuration and power interface): - Go to Start -> Search "Device Manager" -> Computer dropdown -> under that find "ACPI x64-based PC" (yours might have a slightly different name, not sure) -> right-click the ACPI x64-based PC -> Select Update Driver -> Search Automatically for updated driver software -> Restart computer. - If that doesn't work than you probably need to do what any of these other tutorials tell you. I'm sorry if you are still stuck after this, as it took me forever to just find this ACPI fix by myself with luck.

Follow up note: I was able to correct the issue but removing all USB devices and rebooting after 5 minutes rest.

I am getting this message when plugging my 7-Ports USB Hub in any PCs/Laptop Win10, and in Win7 it only says Unknown device """ Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed): Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) A request for the USB device descriptor failed. """ I have tried Driver Easy, Disable fast startup and tried other USB Settings in power options, uninstalled all the USB drivers in device manager, but none of them worked. And not to mention that windows update determined that its the latest driver.. Any ideas?
