Did you install the driver of that device, which you are installing? If not, then search for its driver and install it. Also check the requirements to run that driver and device.

 

Make sure that there is no virus in your system, otherwise scan your PC completely.

 

If still you are facing the same problem then restart your system and go to safe mode. Now connect your pen drive in safe mode and then try to find the problem in safe mode and fix that problem.

 

Check if there is any corrupt file of your Windows or pen drive driver. If that is the problem then repair everything. Otherwise there might be a hardware problem. It causes trouble when you connect the pen drive. So repair or replace that part and try again.
