Autoconnect USB device no longer works in VMWare Workstation 15

[sppru]

The autoconnection of USB devices is no longer working in VMware 15 for me.

In the config file there is a record:

usb.autoConnect.device0 = "path:1/3/0/1 autoclean:1" - Is this setting deprecated in version 15
but in the log file I see
USB: Skiping autoconnect in WS, using askconnect

In the log file from version 14 there was a record that the connection was successful.

Cofig file is the same, no changes.

Can anyone help or try if the autoconnect works  in your case.

Hello,

another frustrated user here. "It could be useful for other users if Ask connect is set to connect a USB device with remembered rule at VM boot, though." Yes it would definitely.

Thanks for this thread was going crazy looking for autoconnect after upgrading old vmplayer... works great now.
