USB device not recognized

[MiraHH]

Hello, I've been having this problem for quite some time -

Every now and then, throughout the day, I get the sound, that usually comes when you PLUG and UNPLUG a USB device into the ports. This happens while I don't have anything plugged in my USB ports and even when I have something plugged in either of them.
After the sound appears, I always get the same message that states 'USB device not recognized' on the bottom right corner. And in my 'Device manager' it shows as ''UNKNOWN USB DEVICE (DEVICE DESCRIPTOR REQUEST FAILED)''. 

I have tried uninstalling it from the 'Device Manager' folder but it installs on its own right after that again. I tried updating all of my drivers, software and windows10. Everything is up to date and nothing worked. The only thing it ''fixed'' is that I don't get that message on the bottom right corner anymore but I still hear the sound every day, several times per day. And each time it sounds, it again pops up amongst my devices in 'Device Manager' with the same ( long highlighted ) message above, and then it disappears from there once the sounds stops...and etc.

Please give me advice on what I could do, or whether I should give it to an office for repair?

I understand that the USB device not recognized.

In that case, I would suggets you perform the USB test and let us know.

1. Power off the PC and make sure that it is completely powered off.

2. Press the power button and the moment you press the power button immediately start tapping F2 key, you should see the system diagnostics screen.

3. Look for the component test, under that all the hardware will be listed, please choose USB and initiate the quick test.

Note: If it fails it will generate a 24 digits alphanumeric failure id, please capture that.

Try updating the computer, this will install the latest updates -

Step 1 Windows Updates -

1) In the search box, type, and open Windows Updates.

2) Check for updates.
