VMware Workstation 16 - Can't detect any USB device in VM

I have Workstation Pro 16 and I am trying to detect USB devices in my VM. I can plug in the device and a pop-up will give me the option to connect to the host/vm as expected. I select the VM but I cannot see it in my Linux VM's.

I am not sure what changed, but it was working a couple of days ago. Now, I can't get any device to register on any of my VM's.

I can post logs or information in here, but I am not sure what anyone would need exactly to help me with this problem.

 

Thanks

Hi bro 

I have your problem too and no matter how hard I tried I could not solve it
but open the VMware program once with administrator access and see if the problem is solved or not

 And if you can find a solution, I'll be happy to let me know

thanks so much.
