Cycle through 2 Monitors on VM powering on

Hi,

Everytime I reboot I have to click the cycle multiple monitors button, is there a way to automate this process so that VMWare Workstation 10 would detect the installed monitors and connect to them. It is really inconvenience to manually click  every time.


Thanks Smiley Happy

Have you seen this?

Cycle Multiple Monitors on VM bootup?

It looks like nothing has been done about it.

Perhaps submit a feature request.

Thanks Rachel for your reply.

Do you know if there is any 3rd party software that can be used ....

We really need to automate this feature, once, the VM starts.

Thanks.

Does anyone know if this issue is fixed with the latest VMware Workstation released version.

Could the cycle monitor process be automated?
