Does your Windows computer show an error notification called ‘USB device not recognized‘ when you connect an external USB device, or you may receive that error when you turn on the computer. Generally, this means that the USB device connected to this computer was not working properly and it may be damaged or corrupted, but there are several reasons for this error so try repairing the device with methods given below before going to the repair shop and throwing it in the garbage.
As you can see in the screenshot below, the error notification appears when I connect a USB flash drive with my Windows 10 PC. The error can appear with any USB device like keyboard, mouse, flash drive, memory card reader, external hard drive, USB joystick, smartphone, tablet etc.

If these methods are unable to solve your problem, then you should go to the nearest hardware repair shop and repair the hardware.

Your device may be in the guaranteed period so please check the device’s manuals and documents before.
