Catalina Fusion 11.5.3 USB Keyboard Drops

I'm running Fusion 11.5.3 on MacOS Catalina. When I switch focus from the host os to a guest os, the USB keyboard I'm using is not recognized by the guest until I unplug it and plug it back in. Switching focus back to the host does not restore the keyboard. I have to unplug it and plug it back in. I've ready a bunch of the threads here that one finds when searching on this problem and tried many of the fixes, none have helped.

Anyone have new ideas?

I've tried creating new keyboard profiles in VMWare. No joy.

I've checked that the VMs are not set to share USB devices with Windows. No joy.

VMWare is allowed to control my computer under Security & Privacy's Accessibility settings. No joy.

What else can I try?

For background, this was a Catalina upgrade. Followed by an upgrade of Fusion.
