Sometimes the device is functional, but Windows doesn't know how to talk to it. Open .

from your motherboard manufacturer’s website

USB Flash Drive Speed Tests - VID = ffff, PID = 1201 - NirSoft

Or better, correct the underlying issue by using spice or virt-viewer with USB redirection.

This device identifier () is unique because it sits at the intersection of generic development hardware, Chinese cloning devices, and the world of firmware patching.
