About this tag
Connecting a USB device to a Windows computer typically involves plugging the device into a USB port and ensuring it is powered on. In Microsoft Edge, websites can request access to connected USB devices for enhanced functionality, such as file transfers or hardware control. To enable this, the device must be physically connected and discoverable, then the website can interact with it through browser permissions.

Common troubleshooting steps include checking the USB connection, verifying device drivers, and ensuring the site has permission to access the device.
