NOT ENOUGH USB CONTROLLER RESOURCES

Hi, I've been trying to solve this problem for a while now but I can't solve it. I cannot connect more than 2 XBox 360 pc joypads at the same time. The third is not detected and the operating system returns the alert "NOT ENOUGH USB CONTROLLER RESOURCES". I've tried by disabling the xHCI controller from the BIOS but unfortunately this does not solve the problem. I also have a laptop and the same joypads (up to 5) are recognized at the same time. If I plug a USB 2.0 hub into one of the low speed ports (2.0) on the motherboard, even no joypads are detected. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thank you very much for your support.

OS: Windows 10

Motherboard: TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI)

Video Card: NVIDIA TURBO-GTX1070TI

Processor: AMD RYZEN 5 3600

Memory: HyperX Fury Memory, 8GB*2, 1866 MHz, DDR3

    Dear darksoul1681,In USB 3.0 application environments where multiple USB 3.0 device connections are supported on a host (especially multiple 4 and 7 port USB 3.0 hubs), it is possible to exceed the capabilities provided for the XHCI USB 3.0 controller. Under these circumstances, USB 3.0-dependent devices will not function normally and Windows will prompt the user for the message “There are not enough USB controller resources”. The regulator does not have sufficient resources for this device.

    “Insufficient resources” does not necessarily mean insufficient performance (which is unlikely with a network powered hub)

    As some users have pointed out, this particular problem can also occur if the USB driver controller has been installed incorrectly or damaged. You can correct the “Insufficient USB controller features” error using Device Manager to reinstall the USB controller driver.

    Here is a short guide on how to proceed:

    Press Windows + R to open a Run dialog. Then, type “devmgmt.msc” and press Enter to open the Device Manager.

    In Device Manager, expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers, right-click the USB host controller, and click Uninstall device. If you have two different USB host controllers, uninstall both.

    Restart your computer. The next time you start Windows, it will automatically reinstall the missing USB host controller driver.

    Perform hardware device troubleshooting

    Windows troubleshooter

    Automated troubleshooting is a tool that can automatically locate and resolve certain problems with your computer. These fixes are not designed to solve all problems, but they are a useful tool that you can try, as they can save you time and effort.

    a) Press the “Windows Logo” + “W” keys on the keyboard.

    b) Type "Troubleshooting" in the search bar and press "Enter".

    c) In the Troubleshooting window, click View all in the left panel.

    d) Click Hardware and Devices.

    f) Click Next and follow the instructions on the screen to complete your troubleshooting.

    I hope this helps, even more!

    Hi and thanks for quick reply. No, the issue happens from the first installation of new motherboard (Asus told me to upgrade BIOS - I did it - and also to contact Microsoft support). I've uninstalled all controllers from the device manager. Maybe I need to do something from bios? Anyway, the controllers are all Xbox originals. On my Acer Swift 3 I've used original and not original controllers, and I can use them all, with and without an usb hub.

    Hello darksoul1681, welcome to the Microsoft community, my name is Luiz Cruz, an independent consultant and I would be happy to help you.

    I understand that you are not able to connect the 3 controls to the PC, did this happen after any update or any procedure done on the PC?

    Initially I recommend that you uninstall the drivers for the controls and install the most updated one again.

    What are the control models? Original Xbox controls?

    I hope to help!
