Hello I have VMware® Workstation 16 Pro 16.2.5 build-20904516.
I used to connect removable devices and choose to where it's going to be connected: host or virtual machine. I used to connect my stick USB WiFi network card and choose "connect to virtual machine". Having that, the network traffic of my vm was directed through this wifi adapter. All was ok, having admin privileges on my host.
But recently in my organization, they restricted our accounts to standard users. Admin user accounts are only available on request. Since then, I don't see no more popup asking where to connect the plugged-in device. And it's not appearing on the list either (VM -> Removable Devices)
Can you tell me what to do?
adding to *.vmx file line usb.restrictions.defaultAllow = "TRUE" did not helped.
I'm concerned about connecting specifically USB D-Link network card, model no DWA171. But it's the same behavior with other devices I try to connect (USB Hubs, pendrives, etc).
