Unknown USB driver (device descriptor request failed)

I'm experiencing this problem in my unknown Windows 10 usb driver (device descriptor request failed) after I attached some new Corsair Wireless Void headsets.

As of this moment, the backlit lights on my MSI GP75 Leopard laptop, no longer turn on. I have strong doubts that the error (device descriptor request failed) is the cause of this malfunction.

What I tried to do to try to solve the problem:

  • Uninstall and update drivers from "device manager"
  • Copy the device instance path and go to "Registry editor" and HKEY_Local_machine >system > current control set > Enum>Usb. I get that path and Right click to new file as DWORD 32bit and named as "EnhancedPowerManagementEnabled" and set the value to 0 and restart the windows.
  • Disable USB selective suspend setting
  • Disable fast startup
  • Use hardware troubleshooting
  • Use some commands, for example "sfc /scannow" and "wuauclt.exe /update now" etc.
  • At last I Update my windows 10
  • Reinstall Steelseries program
  • Used a restore point prior to the problem

From the Steelseries programm, I see in the preview that the backlit layout changes and I can choose many layouts but the keyboard remains switched off.

I don't want to totally format my PC, I don't have time to do it and I would like to avoid doing it.

Please help me I don't know what to do anymore.

    I have these peripherals under USB Controller, is it the first one by any chance?

    I am not sure...

    I also attach the xml file created by the event viewer in the Error state.

    Hi ,

    It would be Intel 3.1 USB Host Controller Extesinble and Nvidia USB 3.10 Extensible, uninstall both.

    But remember, it is possible to be a hardware failure since the light control system could be a USB connection internally connected. Asus laptops are configured like this.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi ,

    I am Ivan, I will help you with this.

    First do a test by uninstalling the USB controller. This error is generally possible to be a hardware failure, not a software failure.

    Go to Device Manager > USB Controllers > Intel USB Extesinble > Uninstall device.

    Then restart the computer to reinstall the USB driver.

    I solved it, to my great expectation, by using Windows' built-in hardware troubleshooting
