    Hey… just relax and calm, I am here to answer to your question. In order to fix an unknown USB device (device descriptor request failed) error, you need to uninstall the USB drivers. For this, you need to follow these steps:

    • Firstly, open the Device Manager just right-clicking the Windows Logo.
    • Now, locate & expand a Universal Serial Bus controller.
     • After that, right-click on USB drivers, then make a tap on Uninstall.
     • At last, restart your PC then, then Windows will reinstall the device automatically.
    I Hope, this solution may work for you. Good luck…

    I struggled with this for quite some time: uninstalled/reinstalled device, then USB drivers.... to no avail.

    I got Bluetooth back by uninstalling the "PCI Express Root Complex" device and rebooting:



    After rebooting, Windows 10 rebuilt most of the PnP device tree, and Bluetooth came back, thanks to its USB device descriptor being recognized again.
