      Kenneth NelsonSep 8, 2025
      If a USB device is not responding on your Siemens Industrial PC, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check your BIOS settings to ensure that the USB ports are enabled. If you're using a USB 2.0 device, make sure USB 2.0 is enabled in the BIOS. Additionally, the operating system may not support the USB port; in this case, enable USB Legacy Support for the mouse and keyboard. For other devices, you might need specific USB drivers for your operating system.
