Problem with usb flash disk: host = W10, guest=W7 and XP

[galexis]

I use win 10 64 bit laptop and virtualbox 5.1.12. When I use VM with W7 or XP: USB flash disk work randomly. Most of the time : doesn't work. When I catch usb device on VM, it disappear on host , doesn't appear on guest and usb device disappear of the list of USB device. You have to disconnect USB flash disk to have it on host. All VM I use, work very well with host:W7 32b. I have reinstall lot of time: virtualbox, extension pack and addition guests. Bests regards.

It's usually better and faster, if problems like this one (configuration, question) get first addressed in the forums (​https://forums.virtualbox.org/). More than 95% of the issues are resolved over there, which keeps the developers focusing on the bug fixes and enhancements, and there is no need for another ticket to keep track of. For example, yours is most probably not a bug and someone from the developers has to deal with it and close it as "Invalid".

So, if you can, please open a new thread in the ​Using VirtualBox section of the forums.

Excellent. I don't know why I didn't see that one, but let's continue the troubleshooting in that thread.
