Getting layed with win-10 may not be as easy as we thought..... private

Am I the only one who keep observing everyone going nuts till the things get stable?

No.

There are ten kinds of people in this world: those who understand binary and those who don't.

Why do you assume that upgrading to Windows 10 was your mistake ?
Considering that most people are having a positive experience with Windows 10 on a range of hardware, I would think the rational response would be to blame your hardware. You probably made your mistake a while ago and you were just lucky that it worked for you up until now.
Until there is evidence of a software issue, you should take notice of the information at hand: 'USB device not recognized, the last usb device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it'. It's a pretty plain speaking error message. And without more information I would put money on the issue being with your computer, not with Windows 10.


I wouldn't have responded like that had this simply been something like "Hey, having trouble with USB drivers in Windows 10, can anyone help?"

The way the thread and title is worded, this comes across as yet another "I hate MS because MS is MS rage rage rage" post.

I wish I could upvote this post :)

Hmmm...

I'm not one to jump to conclusions,

My First instinct is always to trust the OS and to use process of elimination to find the root of the problem. Maybe 1 device has malfunctioned! Then i test another and another and even changed the USB cable... still the same problem.

And as an Android developer I do have quite a few devices and usb cables to test with. And add the fact that drivers are independent of each other, they also all stop working!!!

So after a while a pattern that emerges - all USB drivers/devices break-downs coincides with when Windows 10 interface breaks. When Start button and cortana and wifi network interface stop working. The process of elimination and coincidences of all devices malfunctioning all at the same time proves beyond any reasonable doubt that Windows 10 is the weak link here.

And these people jumping to Windows 10 defense only mention USB driver and don't mention the start button not working. They know Windows 10 can't escape the blame for that

Reading earlier post on how sound drivers were fixed also indicates that many have had to use their skills as "techys" to sort it out... skills which is not available to 99% of users. So this gives them the illusion that all is well with Windows 10

can't help being grumpy...

Just need to let some steam out, so my head doesn't explode...

Drivers for the devices connected to your USB controller might all be independent of each other, but the drivers for your USB controller aren't. They're the drivers for the USB controller, and are not remotely related to what may or may not be plugged into the USB port. And given that there are not mass reports of all users suffering from this problem after updating to Windows 10, I would have to assume that there is something wrong with the controller or drivers for it that is causing issues for some reason, and you should be looking toward that for a solution.

Ok, Here's my system:

Mainboard : Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0
Memory : G.Skill DDR3 8GB module x 2

Graphics : AMD Radeon HD 7950
CPU : AMD FX-8350
Keyboard : Logitech G15
Mouse : Logitech G9
Gamepad : Logitech F710 *** This didn't work in Windows 10, so I bought ...
XBoxOne gamepad
etc

My gamepad didn't work, I didn't blame Microsoft, I blamed Logitech, because I know that they are absolutely crap at updating their drivers, I talked to them a while back about an issue with Windows 8, and they said they had their driver devs working on an update. But that update never came as far as I know. And for a long time they just refused to fix certain issues with their gamepads. Issues that never got fixed. So I bought an XBox One gamepad. Why ? Because I knew that Microsoft have been working ferociously on Windows 10 and XBox / Windows cross platform, and particularly on their gamepad cross-platform functionality (drivers/adapters). And it worked straight away. Something that Logitech, a long-standing peripheral manufacturer had failed to do well with gamepads.

My point there is that you've got to know the vendors who are making the hardware and the drivers for that hardware. Are they reputable ? Is the hardware current or is it 3 generations ago ? Is it obscure hardware or used by most people. I don't know anything about your system. But there is PROBABLY something wrong with it, if Windows wont run on it without problems.

All the hardware in my system is quite common, I would expect Windows 10 to run on it, and it did. But some of it might be getting a bit old, and I do not expect every piece of hardware to be supported for ever. And I wouldn't expect every piece of hardware out their to just work. That might be some idealistic notion that some people hold onto for Windows, but it's an unnecessary ideal as far as I'm concerned.

You've got 6+ pieces of hardware in your computer, an Operating System, and who knows what drivers and software in addition to what Microsoft make. If you want to know what's wrong you should be looking at all the components in that system.

Edit : And you should first look I would think, at your mainboard, and mainboard drivers. That's what I would look at first for your problem.
