The only difference I've noticed: "Version" field in VM's description. So, USB redirection works in other VM without any problems! And that's weird.
I can't say it's version because I've upgraded application version to the same that I'm using on desktop. I moved this VM to laptop and tried to launch it there - no luck, same problem.īut, on the laptop I've had previous VM, created in another version of Workstation 16. > Is this happening for all Guests or just this one ?
Yes, I haven't touched it at all, didn't removed and added again, it's there, I can choose 1.1, 2.0 & 3.1 versions of USB. >But suggest confirming, under the Settings - Hardware tab for the Guest in question that there is a 'USB Controller' entry present on the list of Devices. Open VM config file (with ".vmx" extension) with a text editor, find line mentioned above and delete it completely. Also, there's not enough documentation about configuring VMs directly in "*.vmx" files, all of the docs I've seen so far are explaining configuration in GUI only.Īfter deleting this line from VM's configuration file all listed USB devices became able to be connected to VM.

I am considering this as a major flaw, but don't know how to report that problem to VMWare bug-tracking team. It's very interesting because looks like it has been added automatically in the VM creation process, and it is NOT configurable from the GUI. I've found one very interesting line in "*.vmx" configuration file: = "FALSE" There were some differences caused by a way of creating VM (I suspect that I've created old one without using VMWare's Easy Install), but that's not the case, I assume.
I've compared configuration files for two VMs mentioned before: created in older version of VMWare Workstation and newest one (at the moment 16.2.1). Thanks idea to check behavior of other VMs, and good that I'e had one.
