Device unable to connect to preferred/ideal host controller warning - how to restore?

So I received a warning pop up after connecting a USB 3.0 usb stick to a USB 3.0 port on a guest which I only have usb2.0 support enabled.   I assume that was the origin of the notification.

I was working quicker than thinking which resulted in me checking the "dont show me again" box.   I realized after the fact, i'd prefer this to be displayed.  Where/how would one go about "un" checking that box :smileysilly:

thanks for any time and help!

Hi klepp0906

Had you tried to remove the virtual USB controller and USB device from VM settings and add them back again?

I have not, sounds like a good place to start though.   I obviously tried to remove the device but not the controller.  Will do that and see what happens and report back Smiley Happy
