cant work, microsoft really need to do something on this with update, i think many of us facing the same problem here. i even try reset my laptop yet the problem come back afterward

[@AspireTurbo]

I've done something by accident, fixing the issue: I went to: device manager -> I2C HID (the one with the warning sign) -> update driver -> "Search for drivers on my PC" -> "Select from a list of drivers from my PC" -----> in the following window there is a box with "Model" and the I2C device in it. Double click the I2C device and look if something happens. FOr me this solved the issue. Beforehand I tried multiple Intel chip drivers etc., nothing worked but all those new drivers MIGHT have contributed to solving my issue. Try it out and let me know if this worked for you. If it did I'll upload a video for others to try

[@Turco949]

If there were no new installations or updates of any kind, then from what I have personally experienced at home and at work, the device in question has gone caput. These suggestions and a few more would definitely be helpful/applicable if it is a software related issue but out of the blue "Device Cannot Start" has always bee n a bad device in my experience, especially if the device in question is audio, camera, wireless or wired NIC. I have actually seen BIOS updates or Security firmware updates cause this issues with aforementioned devices. Tip #1: Do not update your BIOS unless you have a valid need/reason. Tip #2: Never install "Beta" versions of BIOS updates.

After a month of this ordeal CODE 10/43. I finally got the solution. Went to the local laptop repair shop, and he checked and tried to do the same disable enable and uninstall restart but to no avail. When he removed all the screws of the laptop to check the hardware he found that the receiver for the WiFi was damaged. So for just Rs.400 and just half an hour, he solved my months-old problem. So for those that haven't been able to find a solution, try the EXPERTS too.

[@user-zu4ft8yw9e]

1. Update drivers: Ensure your drivers are up to date as outdated or corrupted drivers can cause the This Device Cannot Start (code 10) error. 2. Perform a Windows reset: Resetting Windows can potentially resolve the issue if the problem persists. 3. Use Windows troubleshooter: Run the hardware and devices troubleshooter in Windows to automatically detect and fix any issues. 4. Check registry and power settings: Incorrect registry or power settings can also cause the error, so ensure they are correct. 5. Verify UpperFilters and LowerFilters: Check the UpperFilters and LowerFilters in the registry to see if they are correctly configured.

How about if you cannot find the device in the device manager anymore? what is the problem with that? thanks

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, If your external hard disk is not showing up in disk management, it's possible that there is an issue with the connection between the hard disk and your computer. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue: Check the cable and connections. Check if the hard disk is spinning up. Check if the hard disk is recognized on another computer. Check the power supply. Try data recovery software. Download Recoverit here: bit.ly/3ZoowNK If none of these steps work, it's possible that the hard disk has failed and may need to be replaced.

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! Ensure hub compatibility with your operating system, check hub power source, inspect the cables, look for hub-specific drivers, confirm USB port speed, check Device Manager for issues, test with different devices, review BIOS/UEFI settings, and consider contacting the manufacturer's support if none of these steps resolve the issue. If you bought a cheap USB 3.0 It possible that could be the cause of it not being able to transfer data.
