A common problem that arises for computer users is dealing with the USB Device not recognized error. This error is thrown after an electronic device is connected to the computer or USB hub but is not automatically detected. When the error occurs, the Windows Device Manager may also list the component as an “unknown device” depending on the nature of the error.

A USB hub is a piece of hardware that allows for a single USB port to be expanded into several. This allows more ports to be used for different connected devices. For example, on a computer there might be four USB slots, but within the actual computer, there might only be a single upstream port. This means that the four downstream ports are connected to one port that leads within the computer. The USB hub allows for the four separate ports to connect together while keeping their autonomy and run
