Win XP Guest, Win10 Host - USB not Recognised

Post by jaa17 »

I have a Win XP Guest and a Win 10 Host.

How do I get my USB (2.0 or 3.0) stick recognised on my Win XP virtual machine in VirtualBox?

You need to install the Extension Pack on the host. More information in the User Manual...
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.
