USB device not recognised – simple fixes

Possible causes: Defective USB device, outdated drivers, USB port issue, or a conflict with other devices. **Steps:** 1) Plug the USB device into a different port. 2) Test the device on another PC to rule out a hardware fault. 3) Restart the PC. 4) Update the USB drivers via Device Manager (right-click Start → Device Manager → USB Controllers). 5) If the device is still not recognised, the USB port may be damaged – use a different port or have the PC inspected.
