This is how I understand it as well.

I can't believe I didn't think of that to be honest. I did try the driver and it got me closer. Now I have a VIA usb3 root hub that won't work. I've tried different drivers even going direct to the VIA side and getting their drivers. I'm not sure that this is a passthrough issue anymore, and I'm thinking of just buying a USB3 pci card to passthrough and calling it a day. Thanks for your help gridrunner!

Unfortunately I don't have a usb3 device I can try. I tried passing through with the qemu argument you suggested (new xml below), device manager is showing a new "xhci compliant controller" with the yellow exclamation point. If I go into the device properties it's showing a "this device cannot start (code 10)" error. I attempted to update the driver twice, once allowing windows to search for a driver, and once telling it to search the virtio iso, both times windows returned with a "your current driver is the best driver for this device" message. At least it does appear as though that is the usb3 controller.

I appreciate the sanity check, I went and checked and both of these are setup properly. I reseated my front USB3 header (which was connected fine, but a reseat never hurts), and checked the bios. XHCI and EHCI handoffs are enabled as is the onboard usb3 controller. Neither the front usb3 ports nor the usb3 ports on the rear i/o are recognized by unraid.

HI folks, I'm trying to pass through really any of my USB ports to my win10 VM but it's just not working. I've figured out how to manually pass through a usb device on a bus to the VM but not the bus itself. I'd prefer to pass through my usb 3 ports as those are the accessible front ports. I mapped out the ports using lsusb and all the usb 2/1.1 ports are on bus 00. I imagine that the usb 3 ports are on bus 02 (sysdevices page attached below), but whenever I plug a device into any of the usb3 ports (on the motherboard i/o OR the case front usb ports) the device just doesn't show up under lsusb. I'll be honest I only sort of understand what we're doing but I don't have enough grasp of bus addressing to trouble shoot it myself, I could use some help please. I'm sorry for being such a noob.
