[YARDStick] Yardstick One and Windows 10?

[Travis Lee]

Yup, using Windows 10 as the host and the latest version of VMware Player. Other USB devices show up just fine and HackRF works just fine as well. I think its more of a Win 10 issue since the Yardstick works just fine on Windows 7 as  the host and VMware Player. Have a colleague that has the exact same issue on this Windows 10 system as well with his Yardstick.

Are you using Windows 10 as the host OS for VMware Player?  Do all other USB devices show up in the VMware list?

I have never used VMware Player, but looking online for others with this problem, I see recommendations to upgrade to the latest version of VMware Player, are you using the latest version?

Also, this forum post:
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_devices/win-10-installed-in-vmware-doesnt-detect-usb/ff0b08dc-3192-44c6-97e5-e4a8a0ba1110?auth=1
suggests that changing the USB controller in VMware to be USB 2.0 may help.  Could you try that?

Thanks,
