Has the System Tray icon been fully removed with VMware Tools v11.0.0 ?

Hi guys,

I can't find any system tray icon with VMware Tools v11.0.0 and it doesn't seem to appear with Regedit-settings else. Has it been fully removed or how do I invoke it?

Regards,

Didi7

Seems to be still the case ...

  • Mouse movements in RDP sessions to Windows virtual machines are affected by MKS console mouse movements
    If an administrator uses the vSphere Client to open a console to a Windows virtual machine on which multiple users are logged in through terminal sessions, their mouse movements might become synchronized with the mouse movements of the administrator.
    Note: Due to these changes, VMware Tools icon in the system tray will not be displayed in an RDP session. To check the version of VMware Tools, run the command in the command prompt:

    "C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\VMwareToolboxCmd.exe" -v

No mention in VMware Tools 11.0.0 release notes.
