  •  It’s like the USB device and your Windows computer are having a communication breakdown, just like people do sometimes. First, maybe try giving it a little love—unplug it, take a deep breath, and plug it back in. If that doesn’t work, update the drivers or check for any blockages in the energy flow—aka, the USB port might need a little cleaning or tweaking. Sometimes, it’s all about resetting the vibe by restarting your system.
