I am running VmWare Workstation 12.5.2 build-4638234 and I have had no issues with connecting USB device until now.
My Windows 10 host was updated to Version 10.0.14986 Build 14986 and since then I cannot connect any USB devices to any of my VMs, Ubuntu, Windows 7 and Windows 10.
I always get a pop-up error message telling me this is a driver error. Has VmWare tested with the latest build?
