I would uninstall and then reinstall VirtualBox. When you reinstall VirtualBox do make sure that USB support is enabled. I would also use "Run as administrator" when running the install app, giving you permission to install drivers.

Finally, I would make sure that Win8-64bit's "Driver Signature Enforcement" feature is not set to silently reject the installation of non-Microsoft device drivers. Make sure it is configured to at least prompt you for permission to install them.

tried but still not work
the problem exists since 4.2.18(4.2.16 works normally) so i think maybe something changed in 4.2.18 caused the bug

When one or more "me too" submitters actually submits full reports and/or detailed enough bug reports, so that the developers can pinpoint and potentially fix the problem.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
