I can not seem to fix this by disabling or uninstalling device and adding new drivers or reinstalling or reenabling.

Please advise?

Dear Jeff.

A majority of Windows users are confused about various error codes in Device Manager in Windows. As for code 43 error, it's one of the Device Manager error codes which means "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)". When you get this error with your USB or other hardware devices, it probably tells you that a device driver notified the operating system that the device has failed. This situation can also occur if the device hardware failed or if the device driver failed.

Try the following steps one at a time:
1. Restart Your Computer or Laptop
2. Re-enable the Device
3. Fix the Device Driver (reinstall, update or roll back driver)
4. Update BIOS
5. Restore System
