I'm having an issue with a KVM and windows 10 that is well know 1, 2 and 3. When I switch my KVM to this Win10 machine, the USB interface doesnt recognize the devices plugged to the KVM so I have to manually unplug and plug the USB cable to make it work as intended.
I want to automate this process. (suggestions are welcome).
I thought about running an .ahk script that would call something like pnputils. I think that the right syntax here is interface and not device, as there will be no devices connected for the reason stated above. pnp has calls for enable-device and disable-device, but not for the interfaces ):
I have ran pnputils /enum-interfaces /enabled with and without the said USB cable being connected and the diff between the logs is:

Is there a way to do what I want? Maybe reloading the USB driver (usbhub3.inf)?
