Seems like driver issue. Try installing the driver with Zading installer.

After installation of the program plug ARM-USB-OCD-H to the computer and you should see the device in the drop down menu with the interfaces populated, as well as the VID and PID boxes. If they don't get populated go to Options → List All Devices. After that select the WinUSB driver and click either the big "Install Driver" button or the "Reinstall Driver" button for each interface. The reinstall button replaces the
install button if some old driver associated with the debugger was left over.

Test again if it works.

If the issue remains maybe try the LibUSB driver instead of the WinUSB driver. Which driver is sued depends on the OpenOCD version, OpenOCD can be compiled with either driver support.
