The unknown device as per the Device ID is a USB 3.0 Root Hub. I suggest you to reinstall the Chipset and Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Drivers from the drivers download page.
Thanks for the reply, Rajath. I tried that this morning and rebooted, still had the unknown device. Then, not expecting it to work, I went into the properties of the unknown device in device manager, clicked the Driver tab, and clicked the Update Driver button. I then selected "Search automatically for update driver software". Windows thought about it for awhile, then displayed a message that the driver had been updated and I have no Unknown Device anymore! WooHooo! Fixed! I don't think I have ever seen the Update Driver button work before! Nice, for a change.
Just for anyone else looking... I also had the "Unknown Device" listed in device manager but using Windows update did not find the driver. The driver I needed was the "ST Microelectronics Free Fall Data Protection Driver" listed under "Chipset" category.
