Stuck at "Starting virtual machine" (0% or 20%) while I try to connect any USB device.

Post by muhammad_russell »

The problem I have is whenever I try to connect any USB device it stuck with a black screen with a popup displaying that"Starting virtual machine"
Sometimes, it shows 0% and sometimes 20%. But if I deselect the USB device from the setting and try again, than the guest os run and work. But every time I try to connect a USB it stuck.

I have tried to connect USB wireless adapter (TP-LINK 722N), pendrive and joystick.
I installed Windows XP, Windows 7, Kali Linux, and MAC OS Sierra. have the same issue with all of these.

I'm running VirtualBox on Windows 10.
I think the problem is with either my Host(Windows 10) or with VirtualBox.

I reinstalled the virtualbox several times and also installed the extension pack but nothing changed.
If anyone had this same issue or know how to solve this, Please suggest me how I can solve this issue.

Thanks in Advance
