    How to disabled USB Storage device?

    I need to disable USB storage to prevent someone copy my confidential file from my laptop (Wins 10).

    I had tried my device manager to disable USB, but it disable my USB mouse and USB presenter as well.

    I had tried this link - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...users-from-connecting-to-a-usb-storage-device and it looks like this method will not works in Wins 10

    Is there any other solution?

    VMware-usb storage device not recognized


    Hello,

    I'm running Windows XP in Workstation Player on a Windows 10 laptop.

    My USB CD/DVD drive is able to mount in the Player. So is a flash drive.

    My Western Digital ssd (My Passport Ultra) is listed in "Removable devices", but fails to mount, giving this error:


    How can I prevent users from connecting to a USB storage device? [​IMG]


    In the Virtual Machine settings, the USB controller is using usb 2.0.

    The WD ssd is compatible with usb 3.0 and 2.0, and is supported by Windows XP. My desktop computer running Win XP has no problem mounting the drive.

    The device manager in virtual Win XP shows it as an "unknown device."

    I've read everything I can find on the problem, and tried a number of suggestions from the knowledge base at VMware as well as solutions via google searches.

    Perhaps the WD ssd just won't work on the free version of VM Workstation Player (v. 14).

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Paul

    All USB storage devices have code 39 error

    Hi Ilya,

    Please answer these questions to assist you better.

    • Do you get same error codes in the Device manager too?
    • Does this issue occurs in other hardware components like keyboard and mouse?
    • What is the make and model of your computer?
    • Do you get same error when you connect your extenal hard drive to a different computer running Windows 10?

    I appreciate the troubleshooting steps you have tried to resolve the issue.

    I suggest you to check in Device Manager and check if you get the same error code. If yes follow link and perform the troubleshooting steps suggested under
    Code 39

    Error codes in Device Manager in Windows.
