1 Configure USB from Power Plan Windows 10
2 Update Windows 10 USB Driver

The use of USB devices is something that is frequently done in Windows 10 since we can connect hardware devices such as keyboards, cameras, mice, as well as external drives such as external hard drives or USB memories, for example, USB ports are normally enabled to allow the communication between the equipment and the USB medium but in Windows 10 we can notice that the system does not recognize the USB and the cause of this error may be a system issue itself but it is worth ruling out that the failure is from the USB medium and We check this by connecting the device to another PC or another port..

 

Sometimes when we are going to connect a removable medium we see that it is not recognized well and throws errors such as Windows unknown USB, so it is better to keep in mind different possibilities that have caused this error. If you are having the problem with a high-speed flash drive and what happens to you is that it does not recognize USB 3.0, you can also try to solve it with these options. Let's see how to correct this error.
