There isn't anything wrong with the Samsung cable and it's the only one that works properly with my Samsung phone, but when used with a Kobo and Calibre it causes a blue screen. Weird behaviour. It's also only when Calibre gets involved that there's a problem.
Technically as it's not a Kobo usb I suppose there isn't really a problem as it's not as supplied, but it's interesting nonetheless.

jdta09 - can you confirm the following:
Windows can access your Kobo over the Samsung cable, and you have other devices that work over that cable. It's only when Calibre wants to access the Kobo over that cable that you have problems. But calibre can access the Kobo using the Kobo cable.
So you have a solution, which is to use the Kobo cable when you want to connect the Kobo to calibre.
FWIW - I use the cable that came with a Samsung phone, for the phone, a Lenovo tablet, two camera's (GoPro and Leica), and a shirt pocket drive. But, other than the GoPro itself, nothing else will work over the GoPro cable.
My Samsung phone also works when I use a non Samsung cable which everyone says is a no-no. Apart from printers and disks I have problems with everything else if I try to attach them via my monitor's USB ports.
USB is a never ending saga, like the Greek bailouts - extend and pretend (there are no design faults).
