Has anyone actually solved this problem? Ive been using this pc for years on Win 10 with it no problem, it just decided to stop working one day...
One issue I've found is that once the device shows up with the unknown descriptor on a port, it will continue to use that descriptor until you remove the entry. Under Windows, I find NirSoft's USBDeView to be a handy tool for doing this.
