    Hello,
    This is occurring in XP, Windows 7, and Windows 10. I moved these pvm's from my local mac drive to an external drive. All three systems work perfectly from the external drive including network. The USB devices are seen by the three OS's but none of the applications that once worked with these USB devices no longer work.
    Any suggestions/fixes are welcome!
     
  2. Hi, which apps are you actually using with USB? Did you get any error/warning messages during your work?
    Are you able to connect USB to VM and get info from it?

    All USB devices I connect - HID's and 'smart' devices. Their presence is noted in the Devices/USB and Bluetooth menu and are checked. New devices are recognized as well. However any and all applications that used to talk with them now announce that they can't find them.
