Selectively block USB devices from connecting to PCs
-
Wondering if anyone has experienced this yet in the work place since Microsoft rolled out the ability. We are suffering with older embedded tools getting caught up - flash tools, debugger tools, analyzers, etc... I can't help but think there is going to be a performance hit with the white listing portion. https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-now-you-can-selectively-block-usb-devices-from-connecting-to-your-pcs/

Saw this earlier, the link did work then. I am very interested in getting embedded programming systems working (also being the Dinosaur, I know ISA ports!) it seems there is talk of a method of white listing devices which could make my life easier BUT Admin Rights!

Try this one, it looks the same as the original but points to ZDnet not the lounge itself. :-\ [Windows 10: Now you can selectively block USB devices from connecting to your PCs | ZDNet](https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-now-you-can-selectively-block-usb-devices-from-connecting-to-your-pcs/)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

I suspect that will make the secure computer admins at my last job happy. Rogue USB drives were a major concern; and being able to easily disable them directly should be a major win. I'm not sure if they had some sort of kludged setup to try and stop them, or just made do with putting a "User XXX was very naughty" entry in the logs (reviewed weekly) to deal with it after the fact.

Yes. Where I work, you can't write to USB devices by default - you need to get special dispensation.
