Surface Dock USB ports not working - Dock Updater repeatedly fails

I have Surface book 13.5, and Surface Dock. USB ports on the dock are not working.

Running Surface Dock updater says I need to power cycle the dock, although I already did it several times.

Event viewer reports error code 12105, with message: "Failed to update USB hub firmware."

    I was able to update the Surface Dock with the latest version of the Surface Dock updater, but the USB ports still do not work...  I also tried to update my Windows drivers, but it was not successful.  I think MS staff still has more work to do to achieve the goal.

    I ended up having to take mine into the store.  They messed around with it for a couple hours and ended up replacing it.

    Hey everyone - I had the same problem and somehow resolved it by reversion the connection from the dock to the Surface Book. Now my USB printer is back.

    What do you mean by "reversion the connection"?  Could you please be a little more specific?

    Just turn the connector the other way.
