Symptoms
I am unable to use my USB Device in Windows. The exclamation mark appeared in Device Manager.
     "This device cannot start" Code 10 

Cause
A Code 10 error is generated in Device Manager in one of the following situations:
- Device Manager can't start the device.
 - One of the drivers that the device needs does not start.
 - Device Manager has insufficient information to recognize the error that is bubbled up by the device driver.
 
Resolution
Try to pass this device directly to Windows:
- At the Mac Menu toolbar go to Devices -> External Devices -> select your device
 - Check the issue.
 
If it does not help,
As a probable solution try to use Microsoft Fixit Utility .
