How to connect Windows 10 IoT Ent with Windows 10 Pro via USB cable with supported hardware - OTG USB?

Question

I want to make my IoT Board, which is running windows 10 IoT Enterprise, to be able to connect with my Windows 10 Pro Laptop using Micro USB port (OTG supported, Device/Host Mode available).

Whenever I attach my Micro USB cable to Port 0 of IoT with Device Mode enabled and other end of USB cable (USB B Type Male) to a Laptop running Windows 10 pro, I don't see IoT appearing on Laptop as any thing. it doesn't appear even as Unknown Device nor as a COM port.

I am following Microsoft article for USB Support and Dual Role:

Link to article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot-core/learn-about-hardware/usb-support

What I have tried from above article:

1- Added this package Microsoft-IoTUAP-USBFN-Class-Extension-Package.cab using PowerShell command:

DISM / Online /Add-Package /PackagePath: “"

Note: After Adding this feature it doesn't bring USBFN registry under: HKLM/System/ControlSet001/Control/

Sub-Note: This .cab file is coming from MSPackages in Windows kits, but this .cab file doesn't have ufx01000.sys and usbfnclx.sys as mentioned in the article.

2- I added the USBFN registry manually, and I can see all configurations and interfaces. All according to article provided.

Question- The above referenced article seems to be for IoT core, and I'm running IoT Enterprise. Could that be a problem?

My Hardware is from Avnet and board name is: Avnet’s SMARC™ Mini-ITX Carrier Board MSC SM2-MB-EP1

Hi. Thank you for your question and reaching out. I’d be more than happy to help you with your query

To connect Windows 10 IoT Ent with Windows 10 Pro via USB cable with supported hardware - OTG USB, the first step is to make sure that both machines have the latest drivers installed. Then, connect one end of the USB cable to the OTG port on the Windows 10 IoT Ent device, and the other end to the USB port on the Windows 10 Pro machine. Once the connection is established, the Windows 10 Pro machine should recognize the device and you should be able to access the IoT Ent device from the Windows 10 Pro machine.
