How do I turn off the "This device can Run Faster" pop-up in Windows 7

Question

Running Windows 7 Ultimate on my machine and I use a KVM switch/hub. The switch/hub runs at USB1.1 max but works fine. Trouble is I keep getting this notification bubble pop-up up every damn time I start the machine or switch to it via the KVM. The 2nd PC on the KVM runs XP and I have turned off the notification on that one - but can't do it on Windows 7

I click the pop-up and it gives me the dialog box with the option of a tick box saying "notify me if my device can run faster".

I have unchecked this box many times but the setting never seems to 'stick' and the next time I get the pop-up again. Might be a silly Windows 7 admin privileges thing or something?

I know it is probably possible to turn off ALL pop-ups but I would prefer not to do that.
Anyone know how to make this setting stick?
Cheers

PS- I had screenshots of the popup and dialogs but I can't post yet cause I am new :(

Answer 1

Windows 7 has the Tell me if my device can perform faster checkbox, which is probably better than disabling USB errors.

Answer 2

Try going into Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) and open the properties for the USB Controller. On the Advanced tab, check off the Don't tell me about USB errors checkbox.

Answer 3

Actually there is a handling for Win 7 that fully handles the problem:

1. Open the Device Manager (open Command Prompt and run devmgmt.msc)
2. Select the Universal Serial Bus Controllers node
3. Find the USB Host Controller (it may be called differently based on the hardware) and open the Properties box (with right-click)
4. The USB Host Controller that you need will have an Advanced tab, open it and uncheck the box Tell me if my device can perform faster

This will disable the warning for good.
