Key mapping changed

I've been using Fusion for many years since version 1. Now on version 12, I'm suddenly having issues with the key mapping. It started when I upgraded to version 12, that Command-tab and the Windows key maps not working as before. But I got it to work most of the time even though sometimes when in the VM, the start meny would pop up or a window exiting the maximized size. But now since upgrading to 12.1.2, all the command+ shortcuts are no longer recognized in the VM. I've tried changing Keyboard & Mouse Profiles as well as playing around with different settings. But when copy/paste etc using the Mac command key, the WIn10 VM starts Cortana or the clipboard etc. Even though the profile says that Command+C is mapped to Ctrl-C.

Also, when changing profile, as soon as I close the window and reopen it, the setting is back to 'Default' Profile. So changes doesn't seem to stick. And since I use command-tab all the time, I have set the Windows key on the WM to only respond to the right command key. But after a while it's back to opening the start menu every time I press the left command key (to do Command+Tab), even though the setting says only the right Command key.

I have uninstalled VMWare Tools and reinstalled them. No difference.

I use Command-tab all the time to switch between Mac apps, so it has to work regardless of if I'm in the VM or not. I then need the VM to respond to the same shortcuts as on te Mac, i.e. Command+C, Command+A etc.

I would appreciate if someone could help me. My workflow is completely trashed now.
