Caught me out a few times after a long day commissioning, make sure the USB device is connected to the virtual machine. I use VMware. It has a little icon on the 'Vm banner' to disconnect the USB device from host to the VM.
USB 2.0 or USB 3.0?...Most newer and new PCs provide USB 3.0 ports exclusively...
USB 3.0 has been supported since VMware Workstation v.8, however, only for Win8 virtual OSs.
Win7 virtual OSs USB 3.0 support is available only with VMware Workstation v.12.x or Fusion v.8.x.
