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 have purchased 12 Microsoft Surface Docks for our offices and 5 of the docking stations have had this exact problem. I try to run the Surface Dock Updater and nothing works. I always have to call Microsoft Support and they send out a new dock... This seems to be a known problem, is there no fix to this yet? Are all Surface Docks Defective and the USB Ports consistently stop working?

    You have got to be kidding me... This just worked for me as well. I have replaced 5 Surface Docks in the past year because my USB ports stopped working. This is such a strange fix. THANK YOU!!
