Index USB Device Not Recognized is driving me insane!

[Archangel]

I had this issue once before and I found this discussion:

https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/11/4300317773572449474/

And the following solution worked then:

"Hello,

I had the same problem: device descriptor request failed when plugging the Valve Index.

This solution worked for me : in Control Panel > Power Options > Advanced Settings > USB Settings > USB selective suspend setting : turned it to "Disabled"

Hope it'll help"

However that has not worked this time, neither has power cycling, reinstalling Steam VR, Uninstalling and reinstalling drivers or switching different USB ports.

It's actually a complete joke that my VR works fine for ages, has one small issue that's fixed and then gets the same issue that I waste 2 hours of my time trying to fix. Considering how much this thing cost, I don't expect to have to learn to be a technician in order to be able to use it.

Does anyone have any other solutions before I just fork out even more money for a new cable and hope that actually works...?

Bump?

Got to love a cable that just breaks for no reason eh! Well guess I'd best find some cash to get a replacement while I have an expensive paperweight lying around in the meantime :/
