  My USB devices are not recognized, the only ones to be recognized are my mouse and keyboard. Each device is powered (motherboard works fine), but Windows 7 isn't their read (although sometimes I'll get a code 43). I have the latest chipset.

  My external hard drive, ipod and other devices that involve the transfer of data seem to ONLY get power and nothing else.

• Ports USB 3.0 not recognized on HP Pavilion G6-2245sq

  I recently bought a HP Pavilion 2245sq G6 and I encountered a problem with USB 3.0 ports. They are not recognized in the Device Manager. I installed some drivers (Chipset, graphic, Synaptics and so on) and it seems that it did not help with my problem. I confess that I have not tried all the solutions I found in the different posts here on the forum because I think that these specific solutions for laptop. Can someone help me please?

  Furthermore, I believe that I can't have the latest drivers because I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and I can only find Windows 8 drivers on the official website.

  I also tried to find a driver for them using Windows Update Driver command in Device Manager and it says that it manages.

• How can I access the BIOS on a Pavilion p6710f when the usb keyboard is not recognized during boot?

  There is no connection to access the bios with a standard PS/2 keyboard and the USB driver does not load in time to access the bios with a combination of keys on the keyboard. I need to check the version of the BIOS and check the settings of hardware for my readers who are accessible via the BIOS. If I can't enter the appropriate key, how to enter the BIOS? Seems to be a common problem, since I see issues with some answers all over the internet. I even looked for a possible 'hidden' ps/2 connection in the case, but not joy.

  Have you tried another kbd? I recently saw a poster that is having this problem, & an another usb kbd did the trick for him. FWIW, I have a usb keyboard and mouse, and mine is trying to get into the BIOS.

• Canon LBP 2900 B: USB cable is not recognized by Setup on Windows 7

  The USB is not recognized by the Installer before once. I was in windows 7 and downloaded the drivers from the official Canon Web site, so I've upgraded to windows 10 but a few reasons that I rolled back to windows 7 but now the printer driver is lost so I decided to reinstall. I've seen a lot of discussions on this and in this respect Canon website but nothing works at all. Here we are with an image where the device and printers can detect the Cannon printer but the installation program can detect it at all.

  

  Also, I tried these things:

  • Reinstall the software.
  • Tried to update the existing drivers, and then restart the computer.
  • Changed the serial port.
  • Download the software again.
  • Print management > delete data...

  Help me in this please.

  Kind regards

  Hello Siddharth,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community and appreciate your efforts to solve this issue.

  Have you tried to connect to any other USB device? Has been the result even?

  I understand that the USB device is detected by your computer, but could not install the driver and get the message "cannot recognize the USB connection. The question may arise if the currently loaded USB driver has become unstable or damaged or if your PC requires an update for problems that could conflict with a device USB and Windows. This can also occur if your USB controllers may have become unstable or corrupt. So, I would suggest trying the following steps and check if the problem persists.

  Method 1:

  Please try the fixit (s) provided below which will help you solve common problems associated with devices and USB ports.

  • Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows
  • Diagnose and automatically fix the Windows USB problems

  If method 1 does not work, try Method 2.

  Method 2:

  Remove and reinstall all USB controllers.

  1. Open Manager devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and security, and then, under System, clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  2. In the list of the categories of equipment, locate and expand Bus USB controllers.
  3. Right-click every device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
  4. Restart the computer and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.
  5. Plug in the removable USB device and test to make sure that the problem is solved.

  If the problem persists, go to method 3.

  Method 3:

  This method will install the latest drivers from device to your USB device.

  1. Click the Start button, type Windows Update in the search box, and then click Windows Update in the results pane.
  2. Click find updates. When the scan finished, click optional review updates.
  3. Click the check box next to the update, and then click install updates.
  4. If you are prompted, read the license agreement, then click I agree.
  5. Follow the instructions on the screen to download and install updates.
  6. If you are prompted, restart your computer.

  Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

  Kind regards

  I have found a more permanent solution. At the command prompt, type Diskpart

  type

  automount

  If the answer says disabled, type

  automount enable

  Once I did, my USB keys have been recognized automatically when it is plugged.

  Why the setting has been disabled? who knows.

  I hope this helps others.

• Any update yet to USB sticks being not recognized?

  I searched for help and found similar problems have yet to see any real solution.  Seems that many face the same problem with key USB cannot be recognized on Windows 7

  Is there any solution yet?  I'm not computer whizzkid so if there is a REAL difficulty (not something dubious Regedit that sounded like he screwed up computers everybodys!) please let me know how to do - it is so frustrating!

  Hello

  Have you checked the player on other computers running Windows 7, Vista or XP?

  Be sure to check forums and with Support of the manufacturer of the Drive, their documentation online.

  It is SanDisk however, these methods can help with other brands of USB keys.

  Cruzer not recognized by the PC
  http://KB.SanDisk.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/10/kW/Cruzer/r_id/101834

  ===========================================================

  Check with manufacturer's support the system, their drivers and documentation online and ask for their
  Forums (if any) for known issues. Search for updates of BIOS, chipset of low-level drivers and others
  USB drivers on the site of the manufacturer of the system (motherboard for systems custom built manufacturer).

  If a PC remove ALL power and reinstallation of the cards, memory and cables (at both ends where possible)
  -in fact, remove and replace - do not just tight. Remove the dust bunnies and make sure that the ventilation openings
  are clear. For a laptop on everything that can be done is to reinstall the memory and clear the vents.

  If nothing works and it's a PC, you can disable the onboard USB and use a USB add-in card
  is not expensive. Of course for a PC or laptop using a real computer store (one who does in)
  Home service) or system manufacturer support can be requested.

  ============================================================

  Other troubleshooting methods:

  1 reboot to be sure nothing blocks the ports.

• My SATA to USB bridge is not recognized in disk management

  I bought a few SATA USB adapter, connected to my WD hard drive and my USB port, the computer recognizes, to install software for it and that's all.
  I can't read the disc via Explorer because it is not recognized, only in the Device Manager it seems nowhere to be found, saying SPIF30x USB2SATA bridge device USB. I've searched for so many solutions and everything I find people you said to go to disk management and assign it a letter. Problem is, it does not appear. Everything I see here, is my main hard drive, divided into 4 parts, which should be normal, but in the port USB (F:\), where I plugged the adapter, it shows nothing. The adapter itself has 2 LEDs indicating power and access, with only the power light that shines. The light also keeps shining when I plug the hard disk, so my guess is the adapter is recognized, but the disk is not. The drive should work, I've so far always used internally (SATA cable from the motherboard, you know).
  Please help me with this.

  If its not seen in disk management and then the drive has failed or connection method, the usb/sata converter does not work

• Qosmio X 500-149 - USB, eSATA does not

  Hello

  I was wondering if anyone can help/advise on that...

  I had an X 500-149 for several years now. First gen Intel i7/8 GB of RAM. Never made any change of harware. Updated the operating system to win 10 months ago. A few days back, ports USB and eSATA/USB stop working. Now whenever I plug a USB device, the led of the unit flashes (Flash regular, rather than flashing irregular during the reading of the device), but the laptop does not recognize the device or display anything on the menu. I've been on the UK home page for my laptop model, but the USB driver only I could find was for the utility "sleep and Charge".

  BD of the laptop's optical drive works fine. The rest of the laptop seems to work normally.

  Have you tried to close windows and start cold?
  The USB controller may just need reset.
