In the virtualhere client, right click on the device and select Ignore

I mean: always hide the USB device from operating system with "usb server" .

My observations.

There are two sides:
1. Windows USB Server
2. Windows Client

If the Client is connected to the Server and if a certain device is selected on the Client side, then at the same time the same device disappears on the Server side.

Is there a way to permanently hide a specific device on the Server side, even if there is no Client side exist ?
Or simply: always block the specified USB device on the server side (even if a certain USB device is not used on the client side).

Yes you can do that, but this is not really related to virtualhere, its a windows API issue you have to read up on the microsoft website

But when the client connects to the server, the USB device is hidden on the server computer.

OK. Is it possible always "redirect" the specified USB device on the server side (even if a certain USB device is not used on the client side) ?

This is not a forum for windows development as i said before, you need to visit microsoft support website and ask them
