Remote USB device not visible with RDP
I have the same problem as asked here How to access *remote* usb devices over rdesktop and here Remote desktop: remote USB devices not recognized long time ago, unanswered.
I have a remote machine with Windows 10 and an USB device plugged in there. When I go there physically, log into it, I can see the USB device. When I log into that machine remotely with RDP, the device is not visible/accessible. Like it was not there at all.
How can I access remote USB device of that remote machine, when logged in with RDP?
To be clear (because it's a common mistake around the internet) - I'm not trying to redirect local USB device over RDP. The device is plugged into the target, remote machine and I cannot see it when I connect to it over RDP (and only then).

From what I read the Windows Terminal Services does not allow to use certain devices in a way I described in a question. Example of such device is a Smart Card reader (various kinds of hardware USB certificates/tokens).
For such devices it's only allowed to use the device at the computer where it is physically plugged in and eventually redirect it over RDP to remote machine, where it can be then used over RDP session.
Unfortunately it looks like such devices have to be plugged in locally to the RDP client, not server and tunneled (redirected) through RDP towards the server when connecting to it. There is no way to share it between different RDP accounts.
Unless anyone else proves me wrong in a day or two, I will accept my answer.

Depending on what client you are using for RDP might change it slightly, but the official from Microsoft:
For your issue I can suggest you to check group policy setting “Do not allow drive redirection” must be disabled under following path.

It may also help to use an account that has admin on that machine.

Yes, I was aware of that option. Problem with VNC is each connecting user will share the same session, or "screen". To have separate screens available per user I would have to setup as many vnc instances as there would be users of the system. That introduces other problems with maintaing this whole thing.

Depending on what client you are using for RDP might change it slightly, but the official from Microsoft:
For your issue I can suggest you to check group policy setting “Do not allow drive redirection” must be disabled under following path.
Computer ConfigurationPoliciesAdministrative TemplatesWindows ComponentsRemote Desktop ServicesRemote Desktop Session HostDevice and Resource Redirection
It may also help to use an account that has admin on that machine.
