Automatic Startup, Full Screen, Multiple Monitors, Exclusive Mode

Hello,

I have 4 PCs under Windows 10 LTSC 2019 running VMware Workstation 15.5.2 including 2 with 2 screens. I would like to start automatically the VM on the 2 screens in full screen and in exclusive mode. 

These PCs are currently configured as follows :

  • Automatic Startup and AutoLogon of the Host OS
  • 1st try : Automatic Startup of the VM with vmware-kvm          =>  Exclusive Mode.
  • 2nd try : Automatic Startup of the VM with vmware.exe -X     => Full Screen

In the 2 tests, the VM is not displayed on the 2nd screen.

Please read Multiple (virtual) monitors not working at all! for some tips.

Also, please clarify whether you have success in running Exclusive Mode and Full Screen (on the one screen). If not, in Vitual Machine Settings - Options - Power there is a checkmark "Enter full screen mode after powering on", is that selected?
