    Prevent processing of USB devices when Win10 Pro workstation is locked


    Is there a group policy (or any other setting) on Windows 10 Pro to disable any processing (i.e. reading/writing and most importantly automatic driver installation) when USB device is plugged into computer while it's locked?

    :)

    Some USB Devices not recognized in Windows 10

    Hi have Windows 10 Pro insider preview 10532 64bit Pro Intel i7 desktop PC.

    I have multiple USB devices connected, USB 3 & 2. The USB HDD is working however my Samsung phone and kindle are no longer being recognized. The steps followed so far:

    • Uninstalled all USB devices in device manager including controllers
    • Flashed BIOS to latest version
    • Updated USB drivers for the devices from manufacturers sites
    • Tried new USB cables

    Please note: both devices are recognized by my Windows 10 Lenovo laptop.

    I really don't want to fresh install, please suggest any diagnostics I can try.

    Thanks

    Prevent processing of USB devices when Win10 Pro workstation is locked

    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:


    Prevent processing of USB devices when Win10 Pro workstation is locked [​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
