Hi everyone,

 

I bought a product yesterday that included two new USB cables. Shortly after inserting the first, a pop up appeared telling me that  "One of the USB cables attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it". The balloon suggests that I click on it to help resolve the problem. The advice is to remove and re-attach the cable.

I'm not convinced that this is a Windows problem as the pop up is continuing several hours later - even after shut down and with no USB items attached. In essence it seems to have shut down the USB elements of the laptop as other previously used USB items are no longer connecting.

Has anyone else experienced this and if so, what was the solution ?

 

Many thanks
