Hello

I have a 3D mouse that is used in CAD programs. When I work at home I use remote desktop.
I previously had win 10 on my home computer but now upgraded to win 11. Work cumputer has win 10 enterprise.
The problem is that now I can't use my 3D mouse, it was fine before on win 10.

I have followed the below guide and made settings in Group policy. Did it before on win 10 and it worked fine. 
But now in win 11 the correct settings in remote desktop do not appear. When i go to:
Edit remote desktop → Local resources → More → Other supported RemoteFX USB Device don't appear.

How can I fix this?

    Hello,

    I'm uncertain if this is connected to the statement, "Due to security concerns, RemoteFX vGPU is disabled by default in all versions of Windows," KB4570006: Update to disable and remove the RemoteFX vGPU component in Windows - Microsoft Support but this adjustment might impact certain USB redirection functionalities.

    Additionally, it's noted that RemoteFX is considered outdated and has been removed from more recent Windows versions for security reasons from this thread .

    You could attempt to check the box for "other supported plug and play devices" to see if it makes any difference.

    Best regards,

    OK, I tested "other supported plug and play devices" but it doesn't work.

    What is Microsoft solution for remote FX when it's removed?

    Hello,

    try to run gpupdate /force from an Administrator command prompt and reboot your machine. I had the same problem after upgrading Windows 11 form 23H2 to 24H2. The problem seems to be only in 24H2. A gpupdate /force solved it in my case.

    Best regards,
