I connect all, all lights lit up &#8230; machine hangs on startup (during discovery of USB devices).&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have 5 USB plugs on my PC, changed to each of them : all the same problem.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, what does work ? If I connect each of the USB devices I have (keyboard, mouse, printer, memory, HD) to any of those USB connectors on the PC, there is no issue at all.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What is going on ? &lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I also had this problem : &lt;a href=&#8221;https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20200810074636\/https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/windows-xp\/slow-floppy-boot\/181778.html&#8221; target=&#8221;_blank&#8221;&gt;https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wi&#8230;&lt;\/a&gt; ( solution there : my USB floppy drive does not work when other USB&#8217;s are connected, this is a direct connect, no hub)&lt;br&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;\/td&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":4},"question-category":[76],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-6282","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-windows-xp"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/6282","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=6282"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=6282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
