The error means that one of the drivers which control the device, informs the operating system that the device has in some way failed. Possible causes are something wrong with the drivers, or when the device hasn\u2019t been unplugged properly previously (via ejecting). It also might happen because one of the loaded drivers is corrupted, and it can be solved by flushing the driver cache.\r\n\r\nEven though Windows might tell you that the device is malfunctioning, in the majority of cases this isn\u2019t true and the problem can be easily fixed. People usually get this error with USB flash drives and external hard drives, however the possibility of getting it with another USB-connected device, such as a smartphone or a mouse, shouldn\u2019t be excluded.\r\n\r\nBefore you go out to buy a new device thinking it\u2019s damaged or not functional anymore, only to get the same error message when you come back, read through the following methods and try them, as they have solved this problem for a number of people.\r\n\r\n\r\nMethod 1: Turn of your PC, and remove its battery (only applies to laptop users)\r\nFlushing the driver cache can\u2019t be simply solved by unplugging your computer, as it holds battery and that doesn\u2019t have any effect. However, there is another thing you can do.\r\n\r\n \tUnplug all USB devices from the computer. This includes any flash drives, external storage, mice and keyboards etc.\r\n \tTurn off your PC. Wait for it to shut down, and take out the battery. \r\n \tLeave the PC to set for about 5 minutes, leaving the battery out, and afterwards put it back in.\r\n \tTurn on your PC again.\r\n \tWhen it\u2019s on, start plugging in your USB devices again, one at a time, making sure they work.\r\n\r\nAfter you\u2019re done, you shouldn\u2019t have the Code 43 error anymore, and you can use your USB devices again.\r\nMethod 2: Plug the device in another computer and eject it properly\r\nIf you have another computer at your disposal, you can make use of it.\r\n\r\n \tPlug in the device in to the other computer.\r\n \tLet it load, and make sure it works.\r\n \tOnce you\u2019re sure it works, from your taskbar, click on your device and select Eject from the menu.\r\n \tYou can now put it back in your computer, and it will work without giving you the error.\r\n\r\nMethod 3: Run the Windows Troubleshooter\r\n\r\n \tClick Start\r\n \tType Troubleshooting\r\n \tChoose \"Configure a Device\" under Hardware and Sound\r\n \tClick Next\r\n \tClick Apply This Fix\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEven though seeing this error will make you believe that there\u2019s something wrong with your hardware device, by following the methods described above you will see that you can easily fix it. You can now continue using your USB device without any errors.","publisher":"@id":"#Publisher","@type":"Organization","name":"Appuals.com","logo":"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/appuals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/apuals_new_logo_B-1.png","publishingPrinciples":"https:\/\/appuals.com\/about\/#go-to-editorial-guidelines","sameAs":["https:\/\/facebook.com\/appuals","https:\/\/twitter.com\/appuals","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/appuals\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCR--2QnA0vYBfqsmSI3pQ9g","https:\/\/www.crunchbase.com\/organization\/appuals"],"author":"@type":"Person","name":"Kevin Arrows","url":"https:\/\/appuals.com\/author\/admin\/","description":"Kevin is a dynamic and self-motivated information technology professional, with a Thorough knowledge of all facets pertaining to network infrastructure design, implementation and administration.

I solved the same problem today on my Leonardo board (windows 7 64bit). After few hours I found, that the reason of my problem is probably error code whitch I uploaded on board. It influenced the serial communication in some way and the PC was not longer able to communicate with the board (but all of these are just my speculations). Anyway. It was possible to upload sketch in following way:1.) connect the arduino to the port showed in lower right corner of IDE (because of the communication problem you can't choise port in Tools->Serial Port)2.) press button 'Upload' when you have open your (error-free) sketch3.) wait until compiling completes4.) approximately one second after IDE displays "Uploading.." press reset button on Arduino board
HiI had the same problem, same error code, my Nano board was not recognized. (Win10)It appeared the first time after win went in sleep mode and board was still attached.After a long and painfull troubleshooting,I eventually made it work.I went through drivers reinstall, COM port change, etc...could not fix it.I am pretty sure that this is because the board could not handle the USB protocol correctly when it was plugged.In my case, as soon as powered, the board was busy transmitting values through the COM port. Therefore, communication with the Ftdi232 was not correct, windows could not receive USB identification. 2ff7e9595c
