Using last version 5.2.10 r122088 for Linux 64bit on Kubuntu 16.04 fully updated. I have Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack for that version installed. I have enabled USB 2.0 port for Windows 7 virtual Machine and made filter for all devices connected to host to forward them to guest. Guest OS is Windows 7 64bit Ultimate, freshly installed. I have VirtualBox additions installed in Guest. It used to work, but now guest just can't see any USB device connected. Has someone experienced the same?

For some reason, something deleted my username from vboxusers group so that was the reason it stopped working...
