I bought a very cheap digital camera (£25), which works for what I want. When I connect it to my PC via USB to transfer the photos over, Windows "sees" it but it's unusable and appears in device manager as an unknown USB device with the "device descriptor request failed" error. Looking in the properties/events for the device shows this:
Device USB\VID_0000&PID_0002\5&e658374&0&3 was not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match.
Last Device Instance Id: USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\5&227472FB&0&1
Class Guid: {36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000}
Location Path:
Migration Rank: 0xF000FFFFFFFFF100
Present: false
Status: 0xC0000719
There are no drivers for the camera and no mention of drivers in the manual (which is inaccurate in a few places and badly translated, so maybe it's wrong) - it's supposed to just be plugged in and treated as a standard USB storage device. I have several other devices that do the same thing. All of them work. The manufacturer's page doesn't even mention this camera.
I've looked online for advice, but it's all about (re)installing drivers, which doesn't apply in this case, and changing power settings for USB devices. Which I tried, to no effect. I've also tried known good USB ports, just in case a port was faulty.
I'm running Windows 10.
Any ideas other than binning the camera and buying a better one that has some tech support?
