November 8, 20214 yr My USB controller stops working after about 40 minutes after booting Win10 VM. Is this an unRAID VM thing or a hardware failure on the USB controller? How do I diagnose the issue?
November 8, 20214 yr Author Found the box. The controller is a Orico PVU3-4P USB 3.0 PCI-E Express Card which has been part of the VM since April 2019. I paid $20 for it. Is 30 months just the lifespan of a USB Card and I should get another? I shut down and checked that the molex power into the card was seated and the rest of the power cable was secure at the other end. I've started a file move operation within Windows from the unRAID storage to an external USB dock connected to the Orico. I've done this many times over the past 30 months but only today has the move been interrupted by this Windows code 43 error. At first I thought it was due to a Windows update that occured yesterday so I tried rolling back to the system restore point on October 31. Or maybe something got jostled in the PC case when I swapped out one of the data drives yesterday. Maybe pulling and reseating the molex power back into the Orico will help.

November 8, 20214 yr Author File move operation over USB finished this time and Error 43 has not reappeared, so maybe it was a loose power connection that needed resetting.
