Windows 10 guest keyboard input is extremely flaky.

Windows 7 x64 SP1 host.

VMWare Workstation 12 Player 12.5.6 build-5528349

Windows 10 x64 Professional Version 1703 Build 15063.296

When trying to type in either the Edge browser address bar or the Search Windows' textbox accessed from the Start button, input is extremely laggy and continually misses keystrokes and loses focus.

This is a fresh install of the OS into a VM, i.e. it is not an existing physical machine migrated into a VM.

VMWare Tools is installed. The setting for 'Enhanced Keyboard' in the VM settings makes no difference.

Keyboard input everywhere else seems to be OK.
