Dear Microsoft support,
I want to control which USB devices allowed then can be connected to computer, others do not allowed then can not. I tried to do many way from Internet to delete history record of USB devices pre-connected and plus to use Group Policy under Computer configuration -> Administrative Template -> System -> Device Installation -> Device Installation Restrictions to control USB devices allowed or denied. But no way to delete history record of USB devices pre-connected.
Can you please give me a solution to delete history record of USB devices pre-connected? So, I can control which USB devices allowed or denied?
Thank you so much!

Open start and search for Regedit and open it.
Try backup registry , have a look at:
If you navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USBSTOR you will find history which you may delete.
Dear Reza-Ameri
First, thank you for your response. I tried to do many ways from Internet guide to delete all subkey under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USBSTOR but failed to delete them. Even, I changed the ownership of USBSTOR key folder is local administrator account but cannot still delete subkeys.
My main purpose is to delete all history of USB storage devices connected to computer and control which USB storage devices allowed or denied via GPO.
Is there way to delete all history of USB storage devices saved on computer without using to third-party tools?? You can help to raise this ticket to Microsoft support engineers?
Thank you so much!
Dear Reza-Ameri
For a long time, I did not received any reply from you. Can you help with my problem?
Try use Safe Mode and make sure run the Regedit as administrator.
