Windows 8.1 USB Device not recognised

Hi,

I used to work with Arduino 1.0.6 and upgraded to 1.6.4 (Full installation)

I had good fun with the Arduino using 1.0.6 without any issues :slight_smile:

Now when I plug in my old but genuine Arduino Uno it gives a message that the USB Device is not recognised.

When I go to the device manager, under Universal Serial Bus Controllers, there is an entry that says "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)

When I unplug the Uno, this entry in the register disappears.

Plugging in my Uno, the message comes up again.

I tried to unistall the device drivers, and I tried to update the device drivers. Nothing works :frowning:

I tries this as well with a chinese clone that worked perfectly previously - same result.

Please help!

Thanks
Nico
