You left the office, properly stopped your USB device but forgot to take it?
When you do a remote connection on your workstation, the device (USB stick…) will not show in the explorer. In order to remount your USB remotely (not need to physically unplug and replug), the following procedure should be followed:
1. Right click on “My computer” and select “manage”
2. Go to the “device manager”
3. Change the view to “view devices by connection”
4. Browse the devices tree until you find the device with the yellow exclamation mark (!)
5. right click on its parent and select “Disable”
6. right click on its parent and select “enable”
7. Your USB device and up and running again
