I tried with a fresh installed Win XP SP3. First with USB2 and than with USB3. Everything is working the same as in the other XP.

Well, what can I tell you? XP is XP, AFAIK, and the Renesas drivers are working fine for me, in XP, on a Win10-64 host. A slight puzzle is why your device manager doesn't show the mass storage device. ...

Edit:  scratch that, mystery solved: I had used the same VM to test VirtualBox's virtual USB drive feature. I've attached the exact copy of the Renesas driver that I used. (Later) Actually it was way too big to attach, and I was uncomfortable with the copyright question anyway. So it was driver version 3.0.23.0, downloaded from the same place you found yours. If that fails then I suggest that you fall back on a completely standard (unmodified) XP, and concentrate of why you can't get basic USB2 device capture working. This will almost certainly have to do with admin rights (lack of) on your host user account. Test it by create a filter, and plug any USB2 device into a host port. If the device is USB2 then it shouldn't matter that the port supports USB3. If the device is USB3 then plugging it in via a USB2 hub will force it into USB2 mode.

Just a short update for this thread.
I installed now a Windows 7 as a guest, and the result is the same like with Windows XP. No USB can connect to the guest OS.

I successfully attached a USB thumb drive to an XP guest yesterday for a test.

If you wish to troubleshoot, go through the USB tutorial and post the diagnostic info again.

As mentioned before, if the host drivers aren't installed correctly then USB redirection will never work - no matter what the guest is.

Also btw, Win7 has no native support for USB3 either.
