Windows 11 HP Laptop/ USB Toolbox Device Discovery Not Working


 

Hello,

Has anyone had any issues with an HP Spectre running Windows 11 not being able to see USB Devices (specifically a CP4) in Toolbox Device Discovery? Ethernet works fine.

I have an older Spectre running Windows 10 and it works fine.

????

Thanks,
Rich

Did you install the NDIS drivers when installing Toolbox (not sure about Windows 11 but in Windows 10 it¡¯s one of 2-4 random popups outside of the Toolbox installer while Toolbox is installing?

?

The 4-series processors USB appears as a network card (with a 169.x.x.x link local address) but require the driver. If you open device manager do you have an ¡°unidentified device¡± that pops up when the processor is connected and goes away when the processor is disconnected?

Similar to what Lincoln described, I have had issue with my laptop capturing the CP4 USB interface and trying to use it as an Ethernet port (I am running a Linux host).? That keeps toolbox in my Windows VM from seeing the USB port.? I have to go into my network adapter settings and disconnect from the bogus Ethernet adapter.? After I do that, my Windows VM can see the CP4 and toolbox can see and use the CP4 USB interface.? You might check your Windows network adapters and make sure it is not trying to use the CP4 as an Ethernet connection.
