Connection of COM device through RDP to a VM

Hi everyone,

I have a USB device connected to my Windows 10 computer, which is properly recognized. I need to connect this device to a virtual machine that is accessible with RDP. The device drivers are also installed on the machine so that it can recognize the device.

But even though I have the Windows Remote Desktop configured to allow routing of host ports to the remote connection, the device does not connect to the machine. Initially I thought it might be because the machine didn't have any serial ports configured, but it also happens with another virtual machine running that has one configured, and I cannot see it connected too.

I don't know where the problem might be, but I understand that it could come from the configuration of the virtual machine. Any recommendations to solve it? Thanks beforehand.

Best regards
