This problem occurs almost always because the PC driver has been left behind. Such a situation could arise because there is an error in the registration code of this driver and that is why it fails. Anyway, to solve this mess, start by going to Windows Explorer.

There are all the drivers that have been installed on the PC. Look for the section “universal serial bus controllers” you will expand that section and there you will come across the driver that has the fault, a yellow triangle will appear .
Press the right mouse click, select “Properties” and try to enable the driver . In some cases this option does not appear, if this happens then look for the option “Update driver”. There you can choose between looking for a driver from your computer or looking for one online.
If you have internet access, select the “Search automatically for updated driver software” option and Windows will look for a driver that is compatible with your PC.
Now, if you do not have an internet connection at home but at work you do, then look for the specifications of the driver that the computer needs, search for it on the internet with your cell phone, download it and transfer it to your PC without using a cable .
