Adding Routers and Printers to a PC running Windows 10 Pro
Apologies if this has been covered in another thread but I could not find anything.
The problem I have is I have recently tried to reconfigure 2 routers and a printer, and to add it to a PC running Windows 10. In each and every case, The PC running WIN 10 will not recognise the new device and allow for the device to be installed. The routers are rather old and so is the printer, all still only providing information on how to install for Windows XP.
I have tried all sorts of things to try and get the PC to scan for the new devices being added but nothing is working.
I have looked the tutorial on adding devices to a 64-bit machine and run the routines. Nothing however seems to want to work. The automatic wizards that come with the routers and the printer also do not complete the driver installation process.
The only entry that I find in device manager is:
Code:Windows has stopped this device because it reported problems ( code 43) A request for the USB device description has failed.
