VM: "Can't attach USB Device ..."

Post by WolfyRed »

VirtualBox version : 7.0.6 r155176 (Qt5.15.2)

Host: Windows 10

I have installed Guest Additions on the VM, and Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack

For most USB devices, If I try to attach the USB Device to the VM, it will report "Can't attach USB Device ...", and the actual USB device inside of the Host Machine just force ejects.

And yes, the devices are in fact active and running in the Host Machine, they show up in Device Manager too.

Carefully go through USB basics and troubleshooting. If you finish all the steps 1-7 and cannot get your USB device into the guest OS, carefully post the outputs of the commands in step 8 as text, not screenshots. Zip and post the logs step 8 call for, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
