Hi everyone! My problem is that I cant connect my Arduino UNO R3 (Funduino) via USB to my PC. It worked well for the last few days but today i received after I wanted to upload a error that it is not connected. So I searched for the correct driver at the hardware manager, which I found after a longer time because all tutorials on the internet not worked for my problem. Then I got an error message "This device cannot start (Code 10)". And at this point I have no idea what i can do next to fix that. I hope somebody can help me. Thanks in advance, Fabian ---

I'm getting this same problem. I don't know how to fix it... I've tried everything I can think of ☹ ---

its driver issue not arduino problem. You need to update USB2.0 driver for your chipset. Somehow i have attached driver file below unzip the folder & try to install driver manually in port section.

As I wanted to install the driver you attached I saw that my arduino was detected as the old COM3 Port of the last days and it is working fine. I dont know how that happend but I am happy that my problem is solved. ---

I have tried manually installing the driver by hitting "update driver software..." and doing various things, still no luck. > AMPS-N: > its driver issue not arduino problem.

just download USB 2.0 for your motherboard. It must solve issue. > **[Download Intel Drivers and Software](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download-center/home.html)** > > Download new and previously released drivers including support software, bios, utilities, firmware and patches for Intel products. ---

This topic has fallen by the wayside, but here is a slightly different cut. I too had a problem where Windows 7 STOPPED talking to the Arduino UNO and complained in Device Manager. I reloaded and rebooted everything in sight, no joy. Used a different USB port, different cable, nada. I then read this topic where someone suggested trying a different PC. So I did, on an old XP laptop, and the Arduino worked. I then brought the Arduino back to the first PC, where it wasn't working, and Lo! and Behold, it is working again on the Windows 7 machine. This tells me that something odd happened to the Arduino, and nothing to do with Windows, hardware, cables etc. I hope this note will help someone out there (a) to fix their Arduino and (b) that the Arduino folk might debug whatever it is that upsets the Arduino. Because I do not seem to be the only one getting into this bind. ---
