In order to resolve this issue, your device or any other devices you want to connect with this same

issue,
I suggest you do this; Open the Windows PowerShell (Admin) and type: chkdsk /f/r/x. It will inform: 'The
type of the file system is NTFS.

Cannot lock current drive.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this
volume to be

checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)' select Y then re-boot your machine and follow the on
screen prompts.

After the reboot, again, Windows PowerShell (Admin) and type: sfc /scannow and allow the process to
finish.

Now clean the registry with a reputable program such as CCleaner then take a note of the device/s name
and select 'run' from the Windows menu list bottom left.

Type 'regedit' without the apostrophes and open the registry.

Select 'Edit' then Search... and type the brand name of the device in the search bar.

The search results will point you to a series of strings of the device that was giving the *(device
descriptor request failed) code 43* error message.

Every string in the registry with the name of your device will need to be deleted but ensure it is the
device's name from which was generating this error example; Logitech, Seagate, whatever brands device
name that has generated this error code!

Ensure you have removed every last trace of your devices name in the registry.

Then after completion use the CCleaner again to remove all known traces and re-install the devices
software if this is the case.

Your device will come back to life without the error message and start to work again.

Reasons why this happen are not entirely certain but often PC's pick up spyware/malware/virus's and
corrupt the registry's strings other times, updates and upgrades in particular over lap information and
again, corrupt the software and its registration process.
