Antivirus AVG is blocking USB

Hello,

Maybe you can avoid blocking on your usb by AVG Antivirus if you disable the removable device scan. Open AVG Antivirus and from the menu click on the Tools. Then choose Advanced settings and from the left side from the settings there is Scans in the list. Click on the + and select Removable device scan. Then from the right side uncheck the following Enable Removable Device Scan. Finally click OK button. Then put your usb and see if this tip was helpful.

Regards,

Antivirus AVG is blocking USB

This is quite easy to implement. You just need to AVG admin console. Now Enable the Autorun in GPO. Finally enable USB permissions locally through GPO. You will be able to unblock the USB port finally.
