Please post the debugging logs.

With the exact same error message?

For several reasons:
- windows does not provide any sane way to drive USB devices from
  applications.
- we do not have braille displays to actually test brltty with them on
  windows.

so we can only rely on trial & error exchanges with users, which is
frustrating for everybody: not only the user, but also the developers,
which have to divine what on earth could be happening badly.
