Interesting. The USB chip is Amtel AT MEGA16U2. I've tried on a completely different system (macbook air which also was working before today) and it didn't make a difference.Sklivvz– Sklivvz2015-09-13 21:46:50 +00:00Commented Sep 13, 2015 at 21:46

Solved: It was the cable.Sklivvz– Sklivvz2015-09-13 21:52:27 +00:00Commented Sep 13, 2015 at 21:52

The 16U2 was used on the R2 - they upgraded to the 32U4 for the R3 IIRC.Majenko– Majenko2015-09-13 21:56:14 +00:00Commented Sep 13, 2015 at 21:56

+1 for guessing it was the cable, Makenko. I just want to comment that I found some USB cables (eg. to a USB light or fan) do not have data wires. That is, to save money, they only use two wires, which carry the 5V power and ground, and omit the A/B data wires. Naturally such cables do not work as data cables, and therefore plugging into a PC using one achieves nothing.Nick Gammon– Nick Gammon ♦2015-09-13 22:06:35 +00:00Commented Sep 13, 2015 at 22:06

@NickGammon It wasn't a guess - just weighing up the balance of probability - probably skewed slightly in (dis)favour of Windows failing, but that's personal bias...Majenko– Majenko2015-09-13 22:40:03 +00:00Commented Sep 13, 2015 at 22:40

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. arduino-uno), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
