Whenever I try to insert/plug my USB device into a virtual machine (Devices --> USB --> USB-Name), it says Failed to Attach USB.
What I did:
- Installed Guest Additions
- Updated Extension Pack
- Changed the Physical USB Port (I have 3)
- Switched between USB 1.0, 2.0 and USB 3.0 in the USB menu of the virtual machine
- Tried different OSs (Windows & Ubuntu).
- Restarted VirtualBox
- Restarted my PC (host Win10 x64)
- Reinstalled VirtualBox (v7.0.4)

VirtualBox does not support USB device access by default, so this is a three-step process to add support.
- If VirtualBox uses the USB device of the host, you need to install the extension package. According to the version of your vbox, download the corresponding extension package from the official website of vbox.
After the download is complete, in the "Manage" menu under the "Global Settings" under the "Extension" TAB, add, enable. 2. Open virtual System Settings (ubuntu). Under USB Devices, select Enable USB Controller and 2.0 Controller to add support for USB2.0. If that doesn't work, you can try switching to VMware or installing the system on your computer alongside Windows. Hope this can help you.

For some reason, I just downloaded and installed v7.0.6, and now it works.
