Empty USB list Windows 11 -> macOS 26.5.2 (M5)

[Mac]

Latest version, just updated today after having the issue last few months.

Client: Windows 11 – Was using Free version, saw a thread saying Enterprise client would work, same empty list however

Server: MacOS 26.5.2

Local Network

I’m connecting to my M5 Laptop with NoMachine and I’m unable to share any USB devices such as a web camera for video conferencing.

I saw some old threads from years ago showing a missing file under “/Library/Application Support/NoMachine/Extensions/” and saw that I only have nxfuse.kext and nxtun.kext, not a usb one that was talked about in that thread.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, been trying different tweaks and hours troubleshooting it to no change :(. I’ve checked the cfg on the mac and its set for “both” for USB devices.

Hard drives and Printers show up. USB, Network ports and smart readers (none) are all empty.

Audio and Mic work (although I have to re-enable/unmute it each connection… is there another option for this to default enabled?)
