May 26, 2022Android Tablet shows up as Unknown USB Device
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (Running Android 4.4.2) which I use as a Media Streaming Device.
It worked fine on Windows 11, connected and allowed me to access it's storage in file manager. This all changed however when I replaced the USB port.
The device now shows up as an Unknown USB Device, every method I have tried to fix this issue has not worked.
I would appreciate if someone could help me troubleshoot this issue.
Thanks in advance!

I have tried to fix my problem with the following methods:
1. Use a different USB Cable
2. Use a different USB Port
3. Search for drivers for my USB Device with Windows Update
4. Manually install drivers for my USB Device
I have tried the potential fixes you mentioned, unfortunately, neither worked.
- Reza_AmeriSilver ContributorIf possible, connect your tablet to a different PC and see if the problem persists?
Try performing a Clean Boot and see if the problem persists?
