Problems with a USB device on your PC? By following these steps you can solve them

"You may have found yourself, at the most inopportune moment, unable to access a USB device when you connect it to your PC. You plug it in and after a few minutes you realize that the computer does not respond as it should and does not recognize it."

A failure that can appear and that causes inconvenience, because it is not a particularly serious problem You can try to connect it in another USB port on your computer, but that won't fix the problem and it's just a patch. If you want to fix it or at least try, you can follow these steps.

Normally the fault is in the chipset driver so that there is no good connection between the PC and the USB device we connect . The solution to the problem therefore involves trying to solve the problems with the driver.

Before continuing, it is convenient to carry out other tests. On the one hand check if the USB port (of the PC or the device) is dirty or has some lintAlso check if the device works on another port, in order to determine if the failure is from the PC or from the accessory. Once the tests are done, we attack the _driver_ that offers the bug."

Steps to follow

"

We assume that our computer has been updated to the latest version and to check it we can go to Windows Update. Once the verification is done, we go to Control Panel and look for Device Manager"

We go down the list that shows all the controllers of the computer components in order to find the one corresponding to the USB that is giving problems. Click with the right mouse button or the _trackpad_ on it.

"

The first step is to click on the option Update driver in order to force the system to update the driver. Normally it is not necessary, since Windows performs this task automatically, but sometimes it can solve the error."

"

If it doesn&39;t fix it, we can try another option. Again we are located in the USB that is giving problems and we press with the right button of the mouse or the _trackpad_ on it but now we mark on the option Uninstall the device ."

At that moment we must restart the computer to apply the changes and insert the USB again so that Windows reinstalls the driver after removing it. With this solution we should have corrected the problem.
