UTC Windows 11 virtual machine

I Have installed windows 11 ARM64 version on my macbook Air M2 chip via UTM. all is working except of one thing when I connect USB drive and I am in virtual machine runnning windows11 it correctly detects it tries to mount it but it causes finder error message that drive was incorrectly disconnected/unmounted. my guess is that windows11 tries to mount drive however OSX is not willing to release it ro share with virtual machine OS. Apple is there a solution please?? I need for some special case windows and usb drive connected to it! Cheers,

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

neither of these things were helpful. apple support is not helpful at all to be honest- if the issue is too technical they will not help you. I found what was the problem. apple's port usbc . i had crazy idea to use USBA cable samsung T7 goes with 2 cables USBC-USBA and USBC-USBC, and I have used conversion connector USBA-USBC and connected it to mac. windows detected it and successfully mounted. if both cables work the same in osx and only one of them in VM OS this is the usb port issue I think...
