Each time to connect your Kobo ereader to Calibre it updates a file on the Kobo ereader. I would have a connection error message on my Kobo when trying to connect to Calibre, and then after that, I could no longer connect to my laptop (I used both Mac OSX and Windows 10).

Anyway, try deleting this file: "driveinfo.calibre" on the main directory of your Kobo and see if that helps.
I deleted driveinfo.calibre from my H202 while it was connected to a Windows 7 computer, then ejected it and took it to a Windows 8.1 computer, where I got "USB device not recognized." So driveinfo.calibre has nothing to do with my problem.

I have noticed that Windows 7 almost always recognizes the H202/KA1 unless the device has previously been connected to a Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 computer. Then Windows 7 will say the device needs to be scanned and fixed. If I allow Windows 7 to scan and fix it, the reader behaves perfectly (on the Windows 7 computer). I can disconnect and reconnect the reader to Windows 7 many times without any further errors. But as soon as I connect the H202 or the KA1 to a Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 computer, the problems start up again immediately. At this point, I will use Windows 7 to transfer epubs to my H202 and/or KA1 and hope that someone, somewhere can figure this out, because it is beyond me.
