Here it's in Russian:

Удаление VID_.... ключей из реестра приведет к распознаванию USB устройств заново при рестарте системы.

ПРЕДУПРЕЖДЕНИЕ: Если у Вас USB мышь или клавиатура, не удаляйте их ветки реестра, иначе Windows при рестарте может глюкануть.

Определить эти ветки можно кликнув на "+"  VID_.... ключа и кликнуть на ключ ступенькой ниже. Если справа в значении переменной DeviceDesc Вы увидите что-то типа "Human Interface Device" или HID - то это как раз мышь или клавиатура.

1. Кликните Start. Кликните Run. Напечатайте regedit и нажмите OK.

Должен открыться редактор реестра.

2. Перейдите на HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB.

3. Выделите и удалите все (кроме HID) VID_.... ключи.
Не получается?! Правильно! Сначала должены быть установлены права доступа на соответствующий ключ VID_.... реестра. Для этого:

правым кликом на соответствующем ключе открываем меню и выбираем Permissions.

выбираем Everyone (Все) и назначаем Full Control (полный доступ).

Кликаем Применить, затем ОК.
