This device has failed and is undergoing a reset (Code 54) is an error that can appear for different reasons. Here are some steps to resolve the problem.

1: This Device Has Failed and Is Undergoing a Reset (Code 54) - Reboot

Because the device reset and didn't start, a reboot might solve the problem. We wish every problem were that easy.

2: This Device Has Failed and Is Undergoing a Reset (Code 54) - Network Troubleshooter

Click on Start > Settings > Update & security. Click on Troubleshoot on the left.

Click on Additional troubleshooters on the right.

Click on Network Adapter.

Follow the prompts or see more information about using Windows 10 Troubleshooters here.



3: This Device Has Failed and Is Undergoing a Reset (Code 54) - Reset Wireless Connection

Open PowerShell or the command prompt as administrator.

Type the following lines and press Enter after each.

netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns


If that fails, you might need to
  • reset network settings.




    Finally, Code 54 is often seen when connecting an iPhone to a Windows 10 computer.

    Open your Music folder. Right-click on the iTunes folder.

    Click Properties. Uncheck the Read-only box.

    If that didn't work, click on the Security tab.

    Click on Edit > full control.

    Click apply.

    You need to be logged in as an Administrator.
