USB annoyance

A

android

I have had the same trouble over and over with USb products, and it's
just getting plain annoying.

When I connected a USB device to my computer, I was impatient as
Microsoft was taking a long time to regonize it. So I pulled out the
USB cord and Windows said "you may not be able to use you USB devise"
or something like that. Fine. So when I tried to reconnect the (same)
devise a day later to the SAME usb port, the computer made the "USB
disconnect" sound "the deep beep" two times. This proved the same
every time I connectwed the same device to the same USb port. Of
course, when I connected the device to another USB port on the same
computer, everything worked fine. This has happened to me before.
Basically what I want to know is how do you "reset" a certain USB
port? One port is dead to one device, and I'm sure there is a way to
kind of "reset" that port. Thanks for any help.

Does anything work in that port?
It is possible you fried it.

Open device manager and remove the port.

Reboot.

No, only one USb product diesen't work in that port, all other devices do.
And if i remove the port, will it come back on bootup?

Actually, it isn't the port if other USB products are working in the
same port. If you remove it, yes, it will show back up as Windows will
reinstall it for you.

Have you tried using a different USB cable? But that doesn't seem to
make sense if it works in other USB Ports. Why not just use it in what
works and not worry about it? Windows probably got messed up when you
plugged it in and removed it while it was trying to install it.

Yes and you can install your devices again, it is probably
the only way to get that device to work.
