Why is this machine doing this?
Not loading up
if you are using windows, and you have often used many various USB devices,
windows has a habit of saving drivers into what would be considered a cache, within windows…
the issue that comes about when you begin using more than 10 different devices, is that as a new device is added it pushes an old usb device out of an operating slot, and stores it in a cache…
some usb controllers can access that cache…. some controllers cannot…
so sometimes what happens with a usb hub on windows(mainly windows), the hub replaces the last operating slot, and everything connected onto the hub needs to be in the other 9 operating slots…. if its not in the 9 operating slots… its in the cache area
try different usb ports directly, instead of using it through a hub, some controllers only like usb2.0 ports
you were right it was the port, thank you very much
