September 28, 20205 yr I run my daughter's desktop as a Windows 10 VM on my UnRAID server. I passthrough the Nvidia video card, and an on-board USB controller to her VM, and it has worked fine for quite some time. I recently tried to add a webcam to the setup, connecting it to the hub she already uses for mouse and keyboard, and on starting the camera, the mouse and keyboard stopped responding - i then noticed that the unraid server was unresponsive as well. I hard reset the unraid server, and it eventually recovered. I thought it might be a power issue, as it was using an unpowered USB hub - so I grabbed a nice 3.0 powered hub, and tried it again. Same thing happens. I honestly don't even know where to look for this, to get an idea of what might be causing this.
September 29, 20205 yr Author Oh yeah.. another weird symptom. Once the server boots back up, Enable VMs is set to No. I'm assuming this is some safety factor or something - not sure if that helps point to the source of the problem.
September 29, 20205 yr Does USB HUB have power input, if not try one with that, USB cam need much power then keyboard mouse. Edited September 29, 20205 yr by Vr2Io

Yes, I did state that originally it did not have a powered hub, and I thought that might be the issue, so i replaced it with a powered hub, and the same symptoms persist.
