How to remove "unknown USB device" message?
I re-installed my machine twice over the past 7 days and both times I am left with a very annoying pop up which says "Unknown USB device - one of the devices attached to your computer has malfunctioned". This pop up can happen literally as often as 20 times a minute.
I have re-installed this exact PC probably 5 times in 2 years and never had a problem until this week's re-installs. There is no new USB hardware attached, just three basic things I've always had (webcam, USB printer, scanner). Even with ALL usb devices disconnected I still get this message. The only way I've been able to disable this pop up permanently is to disable my USB root hub in device manager. That obviously takes away my USB ports and is not much good in the long run.
I've read through your forums, and most people with this problem seem to be able to get it to identify with a particular device. In my situation, I cannot imagine what device could be causing this annoying error.
Is there any way to just disable this pop up service? My computer is running fine, all USB ports work. I have tried to detect this unknown device for almost a week and I have read a tonne of forums and help places and have had no luck. I'm just left completely clueless. Even if I disable the unknown device, it STILL pops up.
Thanks in advance!
