Cooler Master Devastator KeyBoard Problem (LED Not Working In Some Guest OS)

Hello there before i used VMWare Workstation 10 that time my keyboard backlight led working just perfectly on guest operating systems. But after upgrading to VMWare 11 the led light (not even num lock) not working. The problem i am having is with Windows 10 and Ubuntu linux. But in windows server 2012 r2 it is working perfectly. In my keyboard i have to press scroll lock to enable keyboard backlight and without backlight i can hardly read a key. Can anyone please help me to resolve this issue? thank you?

I don't know what to do on Windows 10, but on Linux you only need to use this command: "xset led 3" (and "xset -led 3" to deactivate).
