The host OS is still controlling it, you need to check your virtual box settings are enabling the USB to be passed through to the Kali host.

A note here, you need the virtual box additions installed usually as well;

if your on windows, disabling auto mounting of the USB (in windows) you want to actually connect to the VM instead usually.

Or you may have to fully install it in windows, drivers et al before virtual box can later ‘take it over’, and for wifi devices that you want to use in promiscuous mode for scanning, you have to launch them with sudo privileges.

VMware 17.0pro Is there a bug for intranet kaliLinux I installed MySQL 8.3.0 on a virtual machine and the installation always failed, but in the Windows 11 flagship version my MySQL 8.3.0 version works fine.
