Windows 10: Ubuntu 18.04 Under Hypervisor: No USB Flash Drive Support After Rebuid

I recently had to roll back to a working drive image because of a botched RAM upgrade corrupting Windows 10.

I was running Ubuntu 18.04 successfully under Hypervisor, with daily use of USB thumb drives appearing under Shared Devices as letter J: .

However, after re imaging my system to the July image (a good working image) Ubuntu would no longer start and so I deleted it and used Quick Create again to build a new Ubuntu VM. Everything went as usual during the setup, except that it will no longer mount USB flash drives.

The "Disks" application under Ubuntu doesn't see anything but the virtual hard disk it's installed on.

I don't recall doing anything special during the relatively automatic installation process in order to make USB drives visible, so I'm totally baffled by this problem and have been researching and working on it since mid-August. But it seems that even the LINUX folks are finding it baffling that the OS cannot access the flash drives.

I'm thinking it's some obscure setting in Hypervisor that didn't get set properly this time around, thus making USB off limits to the VM, but I've been over the settings at least 40 times in the past month and cannot figure out what's different this time around.

Anyone with a working Ubuntu VM care to share the settings for the Hypervisor?

Ubuntu 19.04 Under Hypervisor: No USB Thumb Drive Support?

Okay.. It was a little tricky, because I cannot type in the feedback fields--it turns my Wacom stylus into a writing pen and I must hand write my feedback instead of typing, but I managed to get my question posted under the following:

Thanks for your help!

 

Ubuntu 19.04 Under Hypervisor: No USB Thumb Drive Support?

I recently had to roll back to a working drive image because of a botched RAM upgrade corrupting Windows 10.

However, after restoring, I find that my Ubuntu 18.04 would not start, so I eventually used Quick Create and downloaded 19.04 and set it up.

However, unlike my 18.04 installation, 19.04 does not recognize USB media. In fact, in the preferences menu, there's no options to configure USB media, there's only CD ROM and video disc options.

Did they drop support for USB thumb drives in 19.04? Should I installed 18.04 to get USB support back?

 

install.wim is 7GB, how to make a bootable USB flash drive

This is a method to make a ntfs flash drive.

The trial and error step will be booting using Legacy BIOS...

The link did not use active so that is why it is a trial and error step.
