System:
I have VMWare workstation pro 15 : version 15.1.0 build-13591040 fully installed with the current VMware tools running in the guest
Guest OS is Windows 10 pro
Host OS Linux Mint 19.1 completely patched & kernel 4.15.0-52-generic with AMD Ryzen 1600 & 32 Gigs of ram. Otherwise working flawlessly outside of this feature issue in VMWare workstation 15. Virtualization is turned on in the B450 bios.
Problem:
I cannnot get USB passthrough working at all. I have a USB headset and USB drive to get passed through to the guest OS and its not working.
Detail:
In the VM settings, USB 3.0 compatability is loaded and boxes are checked green for "automaticaly connect new USB devices" and also "show all usb input devices". I recently also checked "share bluetooth devices with the virtual machine" but I dont think that is related to basic USB passthrough.
Note: When I use VirtualBox on this same PC, the USB devies show up just fine in those guests.
Note2: I am a Linux newbie so go easy on me with the suggestions as I am just learning how to do stuff in Linux shell.
