Android Tablet shows up as Unknown USB Device

Error CodeList of Devices

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.

        If 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?
        Have a look at:
