Hi all. I installed Visual Studio 2017 Community and am using WDK 10.0.0.17134.1 on the host computer. When opening Windbg (on host) and selecting File->Kernel Debug->USB->MyTestComputer I get the following output in the Windbg windows (see below). Can someone tell me why it is not connecting with the target computer running same OS namely Windows 8.1 Build 9600 64 bit. I've read through the following MS Docs and still cannot get the host computer via Windbg to connect to the target computer. Any comments would be appreciated.

    IT works without any modification or changes to the configuration. Once the USB: Write opened line is displayed all one has to do is go to the main menu select Debug->Break and Windbg just continues onward.
