USB not recognized Windows 10 code 43

Hi all.

After i upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10 i connected my Samsung Galaxy 3 to the normal USB slot to do a transfer to my phone, a USB is not recognized message appears. While on Win 7 this never happened. How can i fix this problem before reverting back to Win 7 which would be a shame because i love Win 10.

Thanks

Rob

Hi Robert,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community and welcome to Windows 10 family.

We understand that your system doesn’t recognize the USB device when connected. This usually occurs when the drivers are not updated. We will certainly help you with this. Please try the following methods.

Plug the device and run the hardware troubleshooter. Once this is done, restart the computer and check the status.

Follow these steps:


1. Press the ‘Windows + W’ key on the keyboard.
2. Type troubleshooting in the search box and then press enter.
3. Click hardware and sound and run the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter.
4. Follow the On screen instructions. Once this is done, restart the computer and check the status.

If issue persist, proceed with method 2.

Hi guys,

The device I am trying to install is a 2TB external hard drive Seagate Backup Plus Portable Drive. Model: SRD00F1.

I have tried all three methods stated above and non of them worked for me.

In particular in regards to method 3 I have downloaded and installed the latest drivers and under Windows 10 the hard drive is still not recognized.

Please note that all my data is on this hard drive which I cannot access since I installed Windows 10.

What should I do now in order to get the external hard drive recognised by Windows 10?

Thank you.
