Unknown USB device detected in compliance mode on Windows 10.
Unknown USB device detected in compliance mode on Windows 10.
I'm using Windows 10 Pro on a custom-built system, and almost every time I log in I encounter this message about an unknown USB device. It's really frustrating. I believe the issue comes from a device that isn't listed in Device Manager. Specifically, it shows "Unknown USB Device (Link In Compliance Mode)." Normally, you'd just unplug and plug it back in to resolve the problem. However, I'm struggling to identify which device this refers to. I've tried removing everything one at a time, but nothing changes. I've even tested with internal USB headers for external ports, media cards, etc., yet the listing persists. I can clear all my USB devices, but it still appears. I suspect it might be an integrated motherboard USB port. My BIOS and drivers are up to date, and the device properties say Windows has disabled it due to errors (Code 43). The connection keeps failing even when I remove the device. I'm considering disabling it as a final option, but I want to try other solutions first. Could you help me figure this out? I've shared my specs: CPU – Intel Core i7 6700K; RAM – 32GB DDR4; GPU – EVGA GeForce GTX 980; Motherboard – Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 (Rev: 1.0); SSD – Samsung 500GB; HDD – Western Digital 3TB; Case – Corsair 650D; OS – Windows 10 Pro.
Its the thunderbolt and usb c port. Go to the page for your board on gigabyte and download the drivers for the thunderbolt and install it. Also if you are on bios F20 or F21 you may have to go to the gigabyte website and download the thunderbolt firmware update that is specifically for the gaming 7. Driver for it is under drivers update is under utilities. Link here http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-Z...support-dl
Thank you for your message! I attempted the Thunderbolt update myself. Initially, I downloaded one from the website, but then used Gigabyte's own update tools, which didn't seem to make a difference. I plan to try again and might need to remove the older drivers first. Appreciate your support!
I located the Thunderbolt tool, though it feels quite confusing. It seems to have added more complications rather than helped. Besides the "Unknown USB Device (Link in Compliance Mode)" alert in Device Manager, I also see a "Unknown USB Device (Set Address Failed)" entry there. Port 0002 Hub 0004. Need advice?
I've tried the same board before, and updating the firmware was really frustrating. It seems you need to flash it, then let your computer restart a couple of times, and finally power it off for about half a minute before trying again. This should reset it. It took a while and a few tries, and I don’t have the exact steps memorized.
It might not have succeeded on the first try. I’ll try again and share the results later this evening after work. Appreciate the help!
This situation is really annoying! The thunderbolt flasher isn't restarting automatically. I'm stuck between turning it off or skipping it entirely. It doesn’t give any clear feedback on whether it worked or not. I’ve tried it five times, but nothing happened. Even after re-flashing the F21 chip and attempting to apply the thunderbolt update, it still didn’t work. What’s going on here?
Have you considered additional suggestions? Appreciate your support so far.
You're facing challenges yet. Please let me know how I can assist further. Thank you!
I'm having the same issue with the same motherboard, recently updated to the lastest bios 2 weeks ago. Then all of a sudden without any new drivers or hardware changes my keyboard starts to go wonky. Every time I would type it would give me a 1-5 second delay between letters making it impossible to do anything. It would also activate windows shortcuts randomly closing, opening programs or even alt tabbing when the windows key wasnt even being pressed. Even with a different keyboard same issue. I checked my device manager and I am getting the same error, I updated the firmware and have the same issues. Updated to the latest windows 10 updates. Same issue, Disable Thunderbolt in my bios. (still shows up with a device error even though its disabled) Same damn issue. Switched all the USB ports, Same issue. Started my computer with NO usb devices plugged in SAME DAMN ISSUE, My computer is unusable at the moment. Edit : I tried to downgrade to F20 from F22f, 2 odd things happened, the bios went through the update process and rebooted however the bios some how kept the new gui interface look and all my settings were kept which should have been wiped out. Then I booted back into window however now the device manager wasnt giving me an exclamation mark it was saying the device was OK but still in compliance mode. So, I rebooted and back into windows it was an exclamation mark once again. This was all with F20 bios downgrade. So I rebooted, Wiped the Bios and reflashed it to F21, did all the same steps and NO GO. Tried to go back to F22f with all the same steps and full circle same problem, I cannot use my keyboard properly it keeps randomly activating windows shortcuts when i type anything.
