Windows 10: "Other supported RemoteFX USB devices" option is missing.

Dear,I am trying to get a card reader working via Remote Desktop. To do this I have adjusted a few things via GPedit.msc such as enabling the option "Allow RDP redirection of other supported RemoteFX usb devices from this computer". Despite this, the option "Other supported RemoteFX USB devices" is missing under Local Resources when right klicking remote desktop icon and selecting edit. To be sure, I have tested this on 3 other laptops and on those the option "Other supported RemoteFX USB devices" is active as soon as it is enabled via GPedit. But no matter what I do on this laptop, the opti

USB Printing Support Missing From Device Manager

I took a snapshot of and highlighted the rows of interest in DevManView

It shows Epson drivers installed. It also shows USB Printing Support drivers installed (the second of the two USB Print Support rows is for your Epson printer). But it also says the printer wasn't detected at the time you ran the tool. Sorry, I forgot to have you turn on printer on before running the report. Sorry.
Could you please run again with printer turned on?

1. When you turn printer on/off are you hearing the USB connect/disconnect "ding-dong" sounds?
2. Open Device Manager. Show hidden devices.
   • Anything change under the Printer or USB Categories as you turn printer on/off
   • When you turn the printer on, do you see an Unknown Device under USB?

Getting RemoteFX USB redirection functioning for an iPod

I'm currently traveling, and have only a laptop, iPod, and phone with me. I would like to sync my iPod with my desktop computer at home, which appears to, in principle, be possible. I am already able to use Remote Desktop to access said desktop for other purposes, however I have not been able to get RemoteFX to function in order to sync the iPod.

Specifically, in the RDP "Local Resources and Devices" dialog on the client machine, the option for "Other supported RemoteFX devices" simply fails to appear under any circumstances (even when running the client as administrator).

• The client machine is running Windows 10 Home x64, fully updated as of 4/5/18. I have managed to install gpedit on this machine, despite it not coming with Home Edition.
  
• The host machine is running Windows 10 Pro x64, likewise fully updated.
  

I have made the following Group Policy changes on both the host and client under Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services, to no avail:

• Remote Desktop Connection Client\RemoteFX USB Device Redirection\Allow RDP redirection of other supported RemoteFX USB devices - Enabled
  
• Remote Desktop Session Host\Device and Resource Redirection\Do not allow supported Plug and Play device redirection - Disabled
  
• Remote Desktop Session Host\Remote Session Environment\Enable RemoteFX encoding for RemoteFX clients designed for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 - Enabled
  
• Remote Desktop Session Host\Remote Session Environment\RemoteFX for Windows Server 2008 R2\Configure RemoteFX - Enabled
  

I am confident these Group Policy settings are indeed being applied. (I have restarted many times as well as run gpupdate /force.)

I have also made these changes on the client:

• Disabled a driver Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 1.0 (Microsoft) that seems to be known to cause problems with RemoteFX.
  
• Added the iPod's interface class GUID {4d36e967-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318} under Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services\Client\UsbSelectDeviceByInterfaces in the registry.
  

There exists a Remote Desktop Device Redirector Bus under System devices on the client's Device Manager.
There are also a number of devices listed under Universal Serial Bus controllers, however none of these devices' associated drivers include tsusbflt.sys. I highly suspect this is the problem, but have no idea how to solve it. The driver does indeed exist on the system, and I can even manually start it, though doing so has no effect on the problem.

How can I enable this driver for the computer's USB hub, or is there something else I should try?
