Next ..
Look in Device Manager .. first check 'show hidden devices' in top dropdown.
Then plug in the USB dongle .. watch the entries add the device. Expand to see the device (maybe in USB or network sections) and double click properties to see if 'working without problems'
You may get some info there.
If problems .. try unplugging.
Clean ANY entries listed in DM as 'UNKNOWN' or yellow entries by R-clicking and uninstalling.
Reboot and try again.
Repeat above steps if necessary.

Then try a different USB port.
