USB devices available for connection (Window 2) possess additional property: "connect USB device automatically when it becomes available". Parameters of this property is depicted in the Window 4. Here you can see checkbox where you can tick off if you wish to switch USB device to the mode "connect USB device automatically when it becomes available" or to remove USB device from this mode.

Change Mode changes the properties of the chosen USB device ONLY! That means if you are going to connect two equal USB devices (with the same Hardware ID) the changed properties will be applied to the chosen USB device ONLY!

To save changes of the property "connect USB device automatically when it becomes available" even after you unplugged USB device from the computer where it is shared, you need to use Save Mode.
