Check this thread: Ctrl-Alt (to direct input back to host OS) stopped working in Player 15.5.5

This worked for me for a single time. After that it got back just to the way it was.

Adding

mks.win32.useInjectedMagic=FALSE

to the VMs VMX seems to be working.

But I don't know where the per-user config file is located at. Where can I acces this to edit it?

The precise path may vary depending on how your Windows host is setup, but on my Windows system it's at:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\VMware\config.ini

Replace "username" with your username, and possibly "Roaming" with "Local" or "LocalData" depending on what's there.  The "VMware" sub-folder is generally present if you found the right location, but you may have to create the config.ini file if it's not already there.

But there's a number of places we check for config settings, so if you check the top of a vmware.log file for one of your VMs and search for all the lines that contain "DICT ---" it should list them all, as well as all the options it picked up from them so you can double-check that it worked.

After creating the config.ini in the dir down bellow it worked for me.

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\VMware\config.ini

This is whats in the file.

Thank you very much BM
