USB device not recognized window is completely useless

This window I started getting since last windows update.

I did not connect or disconnect anything. How about displaying some USB device descriptors in such window?

I mean this information would be incredibly useful for the IT techs working with users over the phone.

Image transcription:

Dialog box Title USB device not recognized
Yellow triangle with exclamation mark
The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it.
Group box Recommendation
Try reconnecting the device. If Windows still does not recognise it, your device may not be working properly.
Button Close
