I am having trouble getting usb to work on a win7 32bit guest, with a win 10 host, with latest vb and guest additions. This guest worked on a win7 host with an older vb installation.
The guest system devices is showing usb controller error, and it wont find any valid drives to update/reinstall.
Anyone else had issues like this? Thanks.

Re: usb drivers not installing
Windows 10 is not a supported host OS. The issues most likely to arise will be when device drivers need to be installed on the host, such as for USB redirection or bridged networking.
USB is often not needed. It depends on what the device actually is.

Hi,
I am having the exact same problem.
Does anyone know when Oracle plans to support windows 10 as host?
Thanks

Host OS: Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise 64-bit
Guest OS: Windows XP Pro SP3 32-bit
I upgraded from "VirtualBox 4.2.32" to "VirtualBox 5.0.4"
After installing "VirtualBox 5.0.4 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack", Device Manager continues to show a "yellow ?" for the USB controller.
I tried both "VBoxWindowsAdditions-x86.exe" and "VBoxWindowsAdditions.exe" to no avail.
I also extracted the drivers:
VBoxWindowsAdditions.exe /extract /D=C:\Drivers
I used Device Manager update driver function and it stated not USB drivers found.
The goal of upgrading was to test USB 3.0 speeds
This is the device ID 'm getting from the Device Manager
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E31&SUBSYS_00000000&REV_00\3&267A616A&0&60
If more details are needed, let me know.
