I have a USB port on my motherboard that never worked. I had the problem with Windows 7 complaining about it, but something I did got Windows 7 to be quiet.
Now I have Windows 10.
Action Center is popping a steady stream - and I do mean steady - of "USB device not recognized."
Device Manager refreshes so often it is hard to right click on things because of the refreshing.
The item is listed as "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)." It alternates between these 2 error messages.
Device status:
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
A request for the USB device descriptor failed.
Device status:
Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)
To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer.

Things I have tried:
I am using regular boot. I am not using quick boot.
I have disabled the driver.
I have uninstalled the driver.
I have uninstalled all of the host controllers above and allowed them to reinstall.
I have manually reinstalled all of the host controllers' drivers above (by using the default driver).
I have turned off the PC and unplugged it.
Annoyance reduction:
In Sound, I have set Device Connect and Device Disconnect to no sound.
I have tried turning off Action Center notifications for all apps, but don't like doing that because that also prevents other notifications that I do want. Also, when I do that the old gray symbol for a device connection problem starts showing up in the notification area.
I have tried turning off Action Center notifications for all apps and then turning it right back on. The problem goes away for a few minutes.
Help.
