In some cases, permission settings or AutoPlay settings may be the cause of the problem. Troubleshooting steps include checking USB ports and cables, ensuring the device is properly connected, checking adapter compatibility, and checking for Windows Updates. If the problem persists, consider contacting tech support or using a different USB storage device to transfer files.

import subprocess

# Check for error message indicating USB device not recognized
if "USB device not recognized" in result.stdout.decode('utf-8'):
# Restart USB service
subprocess.run(['sudo', 'systemctl', 'restart', 'usb.service'])
print("USB service restarted.")
else:
print("No USB device not recognized errors found.")


This code uses the `subprocess` module to run the `lsusb` command, which lists all USB devices connected to the system. It then checks for an error message indicating a USB device not recognized error and restarts the USB service if found. This is just one example of how code could potentially be used to address this issue.
