Is there a way to stop VMware (Workstation 12 Player) from automatically connecting a USB device?
When I wake up my Surface (Win 10 x64) it connects the Type Cover to the running Linux (Ubuntu 14.04.3, 4.3 kernel) guest, which doesn't seem to know how to handle it. I then have to use the touch screen to manually disconnect the device (= attach it to the Windows host) to be able to move my cursor or type again.
I'm sure there is an option to ignore a device in the .vmx config file...?
Edit: Note that I don't want to generally disable usb.autoConnect, because I need it for another device (an Arduino Micro that must be quickly reattached in bootloader mode...)
You can either stop Mware USB Arbitration Service or try to uncheck "Automatically connect new USB devices" in "VM Setting ->USB controller panel" and check "do not show this hint again".
