Hi,
I have installed the extension pack for virtual box 5.2.4 but still unable to use usb drive in guest(windows 10 x64 home). I am able to hear the connecting sound in the guest and my device is visible in port option>USB device filters but the Enable USB controller is still greyed out.

host is Mac OS high Sierra
vb version 5.2.4
guest windows 10

any help would be highly appreciated!
thanks in advance!

That's quite an old version of VirtualBox. Please update to the latest, including your ExtPack.

Please read the following thread: USB basics and troubleshooting, all of the posts. If you still have a problem after reading through the whole thing, please follow the advice of the last post, #8: Asking for help and post the information requested.
