I am struggling with the following problem for more than one week now:
I had a Windows7 Prof. 64 guest running on an Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 host using VirtualBox 6.1.x for many years. A scanner and other devices (e.g. USB Stick) have been connected and USB filters have been set for auto connection to the guest.
Now I upgraded VirtualBox to 7.0.12 and the following problem systematically occurs (tested on two different computers):
Once I start the Guest, log in and plug in the usb stick (same with scanner), Win7 tries to install the USB driver (it had been installed
before already and worked like a charm with VBox 6.x) and it fails and the device is listed in the windows device manager as unknown under
the recognized USB 2.0 master. The VBox extension pack 7.0.12 is installed.
Here some detailed information:

Windows 7 doesn't find the driver for it. (and: with VirtualBox 6.1.x everything worked well).
(--> see screenshot below)
I tried to reinstall drivers under Win7, update Windows 7 to the very last available patches, nothing changed.
Everything tried with different guest addition versions, nothing changed (guest additions shouldn't have an impact
on this anyway - right?).
Now after one week of reading all kind of online forums, I am really running out of ideas and would be grateful, if somebody could give some hints ...
