Running Workstation Pro 16.1.2 build 17966106 running Windows 10 on a Windows 10 host. On the host, USB 2.0 camera is installed, working properly. In the guest, I have enabled a webcam, using setting: Workstation -> VM -> Removable devices -> Microdia USB 2.0 Camera -> Connect (disconnect from host). In the guest, when I start Skype, I can select settings -> Audio and video -> Camera -> USB Camera. Now, the video of the webcam is not displayed (just black image is displayed in stead). Also the webcam itself is stating "not connected" (green light on the device is turned off), which turns on by itself as soon as its transmitting. Seems like an integration issue of the webcam device and the VM... How can this be fixed? So that the webcam is actually sending correct image in the VM? Thanks, Mathijs In the menu: VM ->

Hi, thanks for the tip! I created a simple script with Autohotkey (similar tool as autoit), placed the script in Windows startup folder, and the result is exactly what I needed. When my hosts boots, a new VM is started in minimized window. If desired I can send the autohotkey script that I created. Thanks again, Mathijs -- edit: added AHK script

well this is odd.. adding nogui to the of the line does not result in an error, but actually I do not see any VM running. I mean with that no instance of Workstation running an VM in the Windows taskbar is visible. this indeed looks like a nongui kind of thing but there totally no gui (maybe thats the option meant to be), what I need is a minimized instance of the VM (running 2.vmx file in a minimized mode). Seems like thats something different than the nogui option

I already tried using nogui but everything I have tried gives me errors "incorrect parameter". could you help me with the exact correct syntaxis? what I have now (and it works), is: vmrun start D:\VIRTUAL_MACHINES\vpn\2.vmx this is in a .bat file which I run at startup. cannot get any nogui option on this line working.

Hi wila, thanks for your reaction, it was usefull but I am still struggling with something else. Now, I have created a bat file which runs the vmrun.exe command with the vmx file as parameter (as you suggested) - and that works. However, I would like to have this window (this VM) minimized in the hosts taskbar. Already tried changing the props of vmworkstation (start minimized), but that does not have effect on vmrun. any idea?
I don't have a dedicated server for Shared VM's. I run VM's on local machines. Isn't there a way to start VM's by a command line? If so, create a .BAT file and auto start it with Windows?
I am running host Windows 10, with VMWare Workstation. After the host is booted, I would like to have a guest OS started. Is this possible to do? If so, how? Thanks, Mathijs
First, I disabled Synaptics device using Windows Control Panel -> Devicemanagement -> disable device Then a new conversion. Result was a good VM. Thanks wila

The easiest way to resolve is to run the migration again, but this time, before you run the P2V migration, uninstall Synaptic. -- Wil Hi, that's indeed the case here. I have a strong suspicion the laptop has Synaptic software installed. But I dont see any Synaptic in Windows Control Panel -> Installed Software What's the best approach to remove Synaptic software?

Today, I converted a physical machine running Windows 10 64bit, to a VM, using VM Converter, version 6.2.0. Conversion was OK no errors. However, when booting the converted VM, keyboard input is not accepted. Tried everything, no result. Is there an update of VMConverter available (its pretty old now the version I use), or is an alternative approach available? (for converting physical machine to a VM). Thanks,

Question: Is it somehow possible to browse through local files (C, D drive, etc) in a non bootable VM? For example, with a dedicated tool that doesn't boot the VM, but allows to view/copy files of the VM in stead? Background info: I have an old (ancient) Windows XP VM, which refuses to boot (activation issues), the thing is there are some files on the VM (Word, Excel documents), I would like to copy. So, I can't get the VM to boot properly. Is there an alternative approach to just get access to the drives and copy specific files from the VM? I use VM Workstation. Thanks,

I am running VMWare Workstation 15.5.0 build-14665864, running a Windows10 guest inside Windows10 host. Despite sync time is set to on, the time won't synchronize (see attached screenshot, both guest and host time are displayed: host having correct time, guest 1 hour behind). What is the issue here?
