Q: Why is USB mass driver not recognized?
</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A: Please refer to the description in the red rectangle in the picture below;
The USB mass is not recognized in PIKVM OS, you can understand USB mass as a local USB HUB in PIKVM OS.
These 3 USB ports are used for local switching between target PC1-PC4, e.g. a USB disk with the OS image can be used to install the os in PC1, if switching to PC2, then the os can be installed in PC2, and so on.
