Workstation 14 Mouse Jiggler

Has anyone been able to use a mouse jiggler in workstation 14 with windows 10 guest? Prior to upgrading to workstation 14 with a windows 10 guest I was running workstation 11 with a windows 7 guest. I could start a mouse jiggler from my host machine and move it into the guest window and have it continue to move. However, after the upgrade this appears to no longer work. I tried to install the mouse jiggler software directly onto the guest and it would not keep the mouse moving then either. Anyone have a workaround? I really need to prevent the guest from locking as it disconnect the VPN it is attached to when it does.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks for posting!

Would you please provide more info:

1. What's your mouse type?

2. What's host OS? Is it working normally on host and on Win10 host as well?

3. Besides mouse jigger software, have you installed any other third-party mouse related software in the guest? We expect to figour out whether the issue was caused by other software.

I can reproduce the issue. And we have an internal bug to track it and are actively working on it. Thanks for reporting the issue!
