Look under "Ports (COM & LPT)" or "Universal Serial Bus controllers."
Poor soldering on low-quality clone boards is a common culprit. If a solder bridge exists between power pins, the device will draw excessive current, causing heat and preventing the PC from recognizing the hardware.
if you notice it getting physically hot while encountering a "Not Connected" error. This specific combination of symptoms—a software connection failure paired with high temperatures—usually indicates a hardware-level conflict, such as a short circuit or a faulty USB controller.
