Enumerated USB Audio CODEC
In Windows 10 (and I assume 7 and earlier) if I plug a USB hardware device into several different USB ports on my computer running Windows 10, a new enumeration results even though the same driver is used. Example; if I plug the hardware into my computer's left most USB port on the front panel the hardware is enumerated as USB Audio CODEC. When I plug the same hardware into my computer's right most USB port on the front panel the hardware is enumerated as USB- 1 USB Audio CODEC. The saga continues especially when using USB hubs and the enumeration could easily get to be double digit enumeration names. 3rd party software that uses this hardware depends on seeing consist naming of the hardware that is plugged in, so the user must go to the software setup section and verify the correct hardware is selected in case the hardware was plugged into a different USB port on the computer. I'd like to be able to wipe the USB enumeration table from my Windows 10 installation since I've now decided what exact USB port the hardware will always be connected to (so the only enumeration name would be USB Audio CODEC). The Microsoft Community (non tech) suggested I use the USBDeview utility to delete the table. I have tried that and it did not work. As a test I deleted the last two enumerated devices; USB- 8 Audio CODEC and USB- 9 Audio CODEC from the list, rebooted. I then plugged the hardware into a new USB port on my computer, the OS enumerated the hardware as USB- 10 Audio CODEC. Is there a way to fix this issue or should I just live with the problem? Is there a limit to the number of enumerated names? Regards, Steve
USB Blocking After specific hours
Hello All, We have implemented Bitlocker for OS Drive and USB, which encrypts the drive on a Domain Joined Machines Recently we observed in one virtual session in their environment that if the USB drive/key is not used for one month or so on the workstations, the drive get disabled on workstations. I tried to check on all Group Policies settings for bitlocker and normal these settings seems not available. I guess they have integrated some additional tool But is it achievable using group policies.?
Block USB Drive by Serial Number
I would love to see the ability to block a USB drive by it's serial number in Defender. When you see a USB storage device as the origin of a new threat introduced on the network it would be great to block it so it cannot continue to spread. Notes: I do not want to block all USB drives. Auto USB actions already blocked.Usb problems with Teams
I teach music through Teams and use a Focusrite sound interface. I have two questions... 1- When using the interface with Skype and Zoom I am able to have 2 channels working together, one for instrument and the other for speech. When using Teams, only the first channel is recognised. Any ideas? 2- I want to add another webcam via USB but currently when I try to connect my USB mouse it stops the sound interface working. Any ideas? I currently use a Surface Pro with only 1 USB port and so I have tried using a 4 to 1 USB extension. This works really well for audio recording on my imac. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Stuart
(WVD) Windows Virtual Desktop USB Redirection Full
Hi Guys, I was wondering if there are plans for (or if it is already available) adding USB redirection - for Other Supported RemoteFX USB devices , which is available using RDS and MSTSC, and was previously available in Azure RemoteApp. This was/is required for redirecting footpedals (and some other peripherals) All tests so far seem to suggest this isn't possible.
