Nice to meet you, *****!
The ‘Windows is still setting up the class configuration for this device. (Code 56)’ error is known to occur when your network adapter has a conflict with the third-party VPN installed on your system.

Customer Replay

im not using a vpn
just wifi
or want to use wifi

Got it
The first thing you need to do is run the Network troubleshooter. The troubleshooter will look into matters concerning your network adapter drivers and third-party applications conflicting with it.

😊
In that case, you will have to perform a Network Reset. A Network Reset will reset all your network configuration to default. This might just fix your issue.
Here’s how to do it:
Press Windows Key + I to open Settings.
Go to Network and Internet.
In the Status panel, scroll down to locate Network reset, click it
Finally, on the new window, hit ‘Reset now’ and wait for it to complete

Okay
Has the issue occurred after a certain Windows 10 update was installed on your system?

Customer Replay

no

author

Okay
In some cases, the issue can be fixed simply by resetting the Bios.
In order to do so, follow the steps below.
Restart your computer and press the “F12” or “F9” or the “Del” key to get into bios.
There should be a button allocation on the screen to reset the Bios.
Usually, it is “F9” so press that and accept the next prompts.
