USB "This device Cannot Start."

Ok so I use my T510 for work and that includes interfacing with USB data collecting tools that use 'generic' HID drivers to function. No issues till now.
Today however with my new device I am getting a Code 10 "This device cannot start." Error.
So I tried it on my non Lenovo desktop, worked fine. Tried it on my old Dell Laptop, works fine. Tried it on the secritary's Compaq, works fine. Tried it on a T510 identical to mine and it doesn't work.
Looking around the driver data and trying everything from deleting everything under USB the only difference in settings and driver files is on the Lenovo computers it uses a file "ApsHM64.sys". Tried removing the file just to see what happended and I basically lost all my USB devices, mouse and keyboard included.
Doing some google searching the file is part of the built in Lenovo applications. So I've been ripping most of them out, as I've bypassed them anyway. Still no luck!
Any help would be AWESOME!
Thanks!

hey joetama,
have you tried going to the device manager and reinstalling the USB drivers using the Rollback Drivers?
If you did, was there any errors during the installation?
I would recommend doing an update of your BIOS as well as the Chipset, if you haven't done so ?

IPad2 on Windows 7 : MTP USB Device = This device cannot start. (Code 10)

Hi Guys,
I want to access to the Internal Storage of my iPad 2 on Windows 7.
But I have an error with the MTP USB Device => This device cannot start. (Code 10)
So I cannot see my iPad in Windows Explorer.
I tried many actions from Forums :
update the driver to the "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" located in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers"
delete the upper and lower filters in REGEDIT : {36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}.
stop and restart the service "Apple Mobile Device"
But as soon as I connect again the iPad there is the same error message after Installing device driver software => "Device driver software was not successfully installed" : MTP USB Device : Fail
Is there someone who get the solution ?
Thank you for you help
Stephane

I have a similar problem, only mine is Code 31 for the MTP USB Driver. The Apple driver loads fine, and I'm able to sync with iTunes, but I can't connect to the device as a drive and copy the photos off of it.
I've tried nearly everything at this point that has been suggested in other threads, and nothing has seemed to work.

This device cannot start (Code 10) with Rocksmith Realtone Cable (USB Audio)

Hi there.
Let me start off by saying that my problem is specific to only windows 8.1 64x and deals with usb devices.
My specs:
Crucial MX100 ssd
Win 8.1 Pro 64x
MSI Gtx 970
MSI Gaming 5 z97
i7-4790k
I'm trying to connect my Rocksmith Realtone cable (usb audio) to a usb port on my pc and whenI right click the "Usb audio device) in device manager, this pops up under properties. There is also a yellow exclamation mark on the device.
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
The I/O request was canceled."
Now, like I said, this is only on win 8.1 64x. I installed win 7 64x on an older hdd and put it in my pc and the cable was recognized right away and was usable. I have tried:
Manually uninstalling the device, and reinstalling
Manually installing the device driver
Formatted ssd and did a fresh install of win 8.1
Tried it on win 7 with same pc and it worked fine
Updated realtek drivers
Updated Nvidia drivers
Disabled xHCI in bios
Disabled legacy usb support in dios
Disabled eHCI in bios
Enabled usb powered hubs in bios
Disabled selected powering in power options + made a new high performance profile
Here are photos of the problem
http://puu.sh/gPfLJ/73044b5afe.png
http://puu.sh/gPfNm/9e63769f7d.png
Every other usb device I have/try works. I tested all my usb 2.0 and usb 3.0 ports and they all work with my mouse, keyboard, and flash drive.
I'm not really sure where to go from here. I contacted Ubisoft (maker of the game Rocksmith) and they said it was a driver issue and I haven't received any more help. I'd really rather not need to dual boot win 7 and win 8.1 just to use the cable.

Paul
Given what the cable does and what device manager looks like it is a driver issue. Their driver. Your best bet is to contact the developer BUT I do wonder if you have tried re-installing the driver in compatibility mode for win 7
To install in compatibility mode do the following:
Right click the installer>properties>compatibility>choose OS
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows?SignedIn=1
(works in vista, win 7, win 8, and win 10)

"This device cannot start. (Code 10)" 6th gen nano ?

Hello!
I recently purchased a used ipod nano 6th gen. It was working great by itself but it won't connect to my laptop. Here's the short story:
Ipod worked fine out of the box. Is not recognized by Windows7. Installed and reinstalled the driver, no effect. iPod does not charge from the laptop of from the power outlet. I have itunes version 11.2.2.3 but the ipod has not been able to connect or be recognized by itunes yet.
Here's the Long story w/ the details:
1. Before I connected it to anything with the cable, I was able to use all of the features and played the radio it worked fine.
2. It began to give the low battery warning.
3. I plugged it into my laptop with the usb cable for the first time.
4. Windows (7) gave the error window pop-up: "USB Device not Recognized."
5. If I click on that error pop-up window the next window says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"
6. If I open Device Manager, it shows one of the USB ports name is "Unknown Device". If I leave the nano plugged into the USB, the device manger window appears to update every 10s or so and alternates between displaying the port name "Unknown Device"and not displaying the port named "Unknown Device".
7. If I click on device properties of the "Unknown Device" USB port from the Device manager screen, I see that the error also alternates between "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" and "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)"
8. When attached to the USB port the nano screen alternates between 3 displays, 1 - "low battery", 2 - the apple logo, 3 - the home menu, which is operational. The battery meter symbol shows 0 power and does not indicate charging.
9. If I unplug the nano it does not turn on with the sleep/wake button, I think due to depleting the battery.
10. If I plug the nano into the wall charger, the screen alternates between the home menu which is operational and the apple logo. The battery symbol shows 0 power and does not indicate charging.
11. I followed some troubleshooting steps, on the "Device Properties" window I see the following information:
Driver Provider: Microsoft; Driver Date: 6/21/2006; Driver Version: 6.1.7601.18328;
12. If I select "Driver Details" button, a window appears that says"No Driver files are required or have been loaded for this device"
13. I found trouble shooting steps on the apple website to install the driver, which I followed. I navigated to the folder with the driver as recommended from the apple website and selected it. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers "usbaapl", then selected "Apple iPod USB Driver" from the list to install.
14. I get the error window titled "Update Driver Warning" which explains installing the driver is not recommended as Windows cannot verify it is compatible with my hardware, but I proceed with "yes".
15. Next window titled "Update Driver Software - Apple Modbile Device USB Driver" shows the error "Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device; Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it; Apple iPod USB Driver; This device cannot start. (Code 10)" and it suggests to download a new driver.
16. Next, I uninstalled the driver and followed all of those steps and it indicated success, also chose delete driver software option.
17. If I plug in the nano at this point I get the indication windows is trying to install driver software, and then the same error occurs as when I first plugged it in "USB Device not Recognized." and I can go through all of the steps again.
18. The Driver details button gives the following info:
Provider: Apple, Inc.; File Version: 1,64,0,0; file names usbaapl.sys & usbaaplrc.dll; driver version 6.0.9999.65.
19. Now the device manager window alternates between showing and not showing the USB port named "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver".
20. If I look under Devices and Printers, it shows a generic icon with the title "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" with a yellow exclamation mark and the status shows "Needs troubleshooting"!
Can anyone help me I will give you any detail and info you want!
thanks!

At this point i cleared drivers and tried different pcie slots but still the same, as a last resort i tried a complete fresh install of windows 7, installed card got same windows error about install, i then installed the drivers from disk and it still is unfixed no sound and, This device cannot start.

I really hope someone can help so i dont have the hasle of rma.
Thanks

Ok update last night instead of clear cmos i removed bios battery to see if that could help, it didnt, so i then installed vista 64 just to check it, and i get same error.
So back on win7 i installed drivers as before and it lets me from disk but when it comes to driver update it says no craeti've products detected or something very simlar. i get same erro if i try and install the beta driver.
Squall thanks for the suggestion but that also didnt help, i do remember though i had been benhmarking the afternoon it died?and had increased my ioh voltage to .25v which isnt much.
I thought at first id damaged one of my pcie slots but i checked my gpus in all 7 pcie slots and they work fine.
Looking at the net i see that there are lots of other people running into this error and not just with sound card but usb devices and such, so it gives me hope that the cards not bad.
Any more suuggestions would be good,
Other things i've tried is remove the device from device manager and retry, along with uninstall device.
Thanks

"This device cannot start" with SoundBlater M

I purchased a SoundBlaster MP3+ external sound card for my laptop, since my onboard one is dead. When plugging it in to my computer, it recongizes it as a USB Composite Device. But, it tells me that that a problem occured with installation, this device may not work properly. In the deci've manager, it shows up in the USB controllers with an exclimation mark, which it telling me "This device cannot start. (Code 0)."
I cannot figure out why this is doing this. I plugged it in 2 other computers, desktop, and laptop, and it worked fine, without any error. It is just this laptop that is doing this.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have the same exact problem on my Dell Inspiron 8600 running WinXPProSP2.
When I connect the USB SB MP3+, Windows goes through the usual contortions to recognize the device... Found New Hardware: USB Audio -> Found New Hardware: USB Composite Device -> Error: "A problem occurred during hardware installation" message and then a few seconds later, "A USB device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port" message flashes by.
When I go to ControlPanel.System.Hardware.DeviceManager.Uni'ver salSerialBusControllers" I see a new "USB Composite Device" entry highlighted with yellow exclamation (!). When I open that entry, the Device Status indicates: "This device cannot start. (Code 0)".
There's no further explanation anywhere of what Code 0 means. Trying to uninstall/reinstall driver per Windows Troubleshooter suggestions doesn't help. Unplugging device and pluggin in again doesn't help. Rebooting with device plugged to computer doesn't help. Installing Creative's drivers for device doesn't help.
Have you had any luck yet?

IPod 160gig not recognized... This device cannot start. (Code 10)

Hey all,
I have the new iPod 160gig, and it was working fine till i upgraded my pc. I had vista before and it worked but now its not.
My iPod charges through my computer but does not show up in iTune or in MyComputer or even in the tool bar section at the bottom righthand corner near the clock. Yet my iPod itself says it is connected.
In the device manager there is a yellow triangle over the mass storage device. and when i go into it it says "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". I also tried looking for updates but it says it has the latest driver. I have uninstalled it and then looked for updates, yet stll nothing. I even reset my computer.
I have tried it in all the other usb ports, and I have tried the 5R's, yet still nothing. It works perfect on other PC's. My iPod has all my backed up work and files on it. So formatting is not really an option, although I dont believe there is anything wrong witht the iPod itself.
Please help
iRJosh

Ok well, i fixed my problem, Which seemed almost impossible was actually quite easy but tricky. While i was reading threw these forums for posts related to my problem. I read a post that there was supposed to be a file named usbaapl.inf to help out with the problem i had, well i tried to find the file but i didn't have it. The post i read said if its not found, i didn't install Itunes right, So what i did, I Uninstalled everything that was related to Apple so i can start a fresh clean install of itunes. I restarted twice so i can make sure itunes would install completely, after i downloaded itunes, once downloaded i installed it, took about 5-10 minutes. when i connected my ipod touch nothing happened, then i kept connecting it and disconnecting it about 2 times, after i restarted it once more. Then opened itunes and connected my ipod touch again and same result, Then i realized that earlier today i disabled my ipod touch threw Device Manager. While my ipod was connected and itunes opened, i un-disabled my ipod and it WORKED!!!! Anyway that was the trick, i just had to Disable my Ipod Touch first then reinstall itunes. I just wrote this just in case someone had a similar problem, Cause i tried everything before and i mean EVERYTHING. mods you can close this.

Network Adapters - This device cannot start (Code 10)

Hello,
I have a W510. It has worked OK for about 4 months. Started getting VERY SLOW - especially on start up.
I ran the Uniblue Powersuite to try to speed things up. Didn't seem to help.
I believe I have all the latest updates for both Lenovo and Windows 7 x64 Professional.
My 2 USB ports located on the side of the laptop are suddenly not working. The device manager shows the following devices all with "This device cannot start (Code 10):
- Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Root Hub
- Microsoft ISATAP Adapter
- Microsoft Teredo Tunneling Adapter
- Microsoft 6to4 Adapter
It would not allow me to reinstall so I just deleted all 4 of these.
When I did the reboot, they are all still missing, but the USB ports are now working (there is now a NEC Electronics USB Root Hub). I guess doing the job?
But, I'm concerned about the other network adapters being missing.
Additionally, today I plugged in my Apple iPod and now have the same (Code 10) on this device.
Please help me. It looks like all the Microsoft and Apple drivers are using the same date and version file - it this strange?
They all show 6/21/2006 version 6.1.7600.16385 - so what's up with this?
Thank you so much!

hey DTTODGG,
since you have uninstalled the drivers under device manager, were you able to use the "update drivers" ?
Anyway, is your system running on Win7 .. if it is, I believe that Win7 should have installed some generic drivers for you.
Also could you check under the properties of your Network Adapter, is the device enabled ? If it isn't, enable it.

Code 10 This device cannot start message

Hard wipe of hard disk and reinstalls of OS and iTunes all OK. USB hubs OK for other devices but when any iPod is plugged in I get the above message through the Device Manager - the Apple USB device is shown but with the dreaded yellow ! mark and "This device cannot start - code 10". Any ideas?

Hello swill65,

Pavilion dv9700 DVD/CD ROM stopped working: Code 10 (This device cannot start.)

I have a HP Pavilion dv9700 running Windows 7 where the DV)D/CD ROM drive fails to be detected. I can still get it to open and close. The device manager gives an error: Code 10 (This device cannot start). I read somewhere that iTunes upgrades can cause DVD problems in HPs, and I did upgrade iTunes a couple of days ago. I did upgrade the BIOS a few moments ago, but it didn't help. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Thank you for the responses! Sorry it took me so long to implement--I wanted to back everything up first before messing with the registry. Following the instructions to delete lines in the registry AND uninstalling iTunes allowed for the DVD/CD ROM to pop up with an exclamation mark in my Device Manager. Updating the driver did not help as the computer said the driver was up-to-date. Mysteriously, when I rebooted, the DVD/CD ROM disappeared from the device manager again. I forgot to mention in the initial post that the DVD/CD ROM light blinks steadily at about two blinks/second. Any other ideas? I am wondering if this is a hardware failure now.

Satellite Pro A10: New Atheros/Askey WLan card but 'This device cannot start' code 10

Hi there,
I have a Satellite Pro A10 and have purchased an internal mini pci wireless adapter. The following information is displayed on my card:
Askey WLL3070-D4(MOW)
Atheros AR5BRB-43
I installed the card, hooked up the ariel's and turned the laptop on...the switch at the front now lights up and windows xp finds the new ethernet adaptor. My problem is this...
No matter what driver i install (and ive tried every Askey/Atheros etc driver from the first 20+ pages of yahoo/google) the card installs fine but then in device manager has a yellow ! next to it and says This device cannot start (code 10)
I'm really stumped. I have some more ram coming in a few days at which point i shall be installng Vista which im hoping sorts my problems out but does anyone have any ideas?
I've yet to find a driver which specifically refers to the AR5BRB or the model number WLL3070-D4.
Does anyone have a location for a driver etc?
thank you

Hi
I use always this page for WLan driver update:

Bootcamp bluetooth driver issue ("This device cannot start. (Code 10)")

Hi everyone,
I have a problem (re)pairing my Apple mighty mouse with Windows 7 under Bootcamp.
Initially I had my mouse working through updating the driver to the one from Apple as is described on various forums.
After rebooting my laptop the mouse didn’t connect anymore. So I tried to repeat updating the driver to the apple one. But this time it didn’t work.
I then updated the Bootcamp drivers from the OSX installation disc.
Then, when I checked the hardware, it showed:
Apple Built-in Bluetooth
Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator
Under these setting my computer still doesn’t detect my mouse under windows.
So I checked to see if I could update my drivers again. This time there were four instead of two:
Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth version 3.1.0.1 [23-11-2009]
Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth version 4.0.0.1 [27-4-2011]
Apple Built-in Bluetooth
Apple Built-in BluetoothDFU
First there were only the first two. Of these two, the first one worked for the first time I paired my mouse.
When I change the driver to any of the three other than the Apple Built-in Bluetooth, it says:
“Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device” with this error:
“This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
After trying this, the initially set driver (Apple Built-in Bluetooth) gives the same error. Resulting in having to reinstall all the drivers all over again.
Anyone encountered the same problem or at least the error of “This device cannot start. (Code 10)"?
Thanks.

What kind of reinmstall did you perform? If you used the recovery media, then this will be pretty simple. Boot to the recovewry media again and this time select the Reinstall drivers and applications option. Find the audio driver on the list of available drivers, put a tick in the box to its left and then click on the install button in the lower right hand corner of the window. The driver will be installed. Your list will be different than the following one, but this is only an example.

I installed the sound blaster into a brand new system with the specs above. Tried all the PCI slots, tried different bios versions, drivers that came on the cd and newest ones, different amounts of ram. However I still can't get the card to work just keep getting the error message "This device cannot start. (Code 0)". Any ideas?

I've tried enabling/disabling UAC.
I've run the drivers as an admin.
I've formatted a few times just to make sure no driver conflicts.
Also I've tested the card on another PC running XP sp3 works fine.
PCI slot works fine as well tested with an ethernet card.
You've tried about everything.
Did you try to disable any non essential onboard devices (HD Audio, LAN, additional SATA/IDE controller etc)?
What about installing XP on a spare dri've?

This device cannot start. (Code 10) Status Device Power Failure for Intel (R) Audio Display

Hi I just bought HP Envy M7 Sleekbook last week and upgraded from 8.0 to 8.1 for Windows 8.
Now I have no sound and this is the error message I get:
This device cannot start. (Code 10) Status Device Power Failure (for Intel (R) Audio Display)
under Sound, Vieo and Game Controllers in the Device Manager.
Anyone else having this issue after upgrading?
Getting a new lappy is stressful enough but to alreay have issues is ridiculous
If the upgrade is not the issue could something have happened in transit? (I have an issue with the way Best Buy packed it for shipment and wonder if it could have been compromised)
Any help is appreciated. Or should Ibe taing this back to best buy and have them address it?
Thanks
Pam

Ahmed, if your HP Envy has an Intel processor chances are it will be necessary to download new drivers for both sound and chipset due to compatibility issues with Windows 8.1. After 4-1/2 hours on the phone with various technical agents and a lot of frustration I finally got one who had the knowledge and training to resolve my issue. I believe he downloaded the new drivers from the HP support site. Good luck!!
