Not supported at the moment. You need to use

Linux Server - and - Linux (4.14 or later) or Windows 10/server 2016 Client for USB 3.0 devices

Is this something that is likely to be resolved anytime soon?

Just in the process of evaluating this and using Linux VM clients against a windows server on the host machine is a very compelling use-case for development. The devices we typically use (event cameras) really need USB 3 bandwidth so going via a USB 2 hub isn't really a sensible option.

Thanks!,

Probably not, Linux server has much better facilities for serving USB 3 devices
