i have the same issue here and there. it seems to me that i get better results if the usb drive is already plugged in before i boot up the VM. this seems to keep it not recognizing it to a minimum.

do ensure you have installed the tools though as they are needed for lots of things and not just usb drives.

Yes, I have already tried to do both things and did not help me

sorry, that's all i got for that issue.

sometimes i can't get one to work either. a rebot of the pc and then relaunching my VM sometimes works, other times it just seems to fix itself the next time i start one up.
