The VMware Labs flings monthly for January 2021: Happy New Year; How to not forward CTRL+WIN+Left, CTRL+WIN+Right shortcuts to guest Win7, but use the host’s Win10 “virtual windows” left/right swap function?

Windows10安装vmware15报错，failed to install hcmon driver 系统版本：windows10专业版1803，系统版本号：17134.320 vmware 版本：VMware-workstation-full-15.0.0-10134415. In the majority of cases, you will encounter hcmon.sys BSOD errors after you've installed new hardware, software (VMWare Workstation Player), or performed a failed Windows Update. In other cases, software corruption caused by a malware infection can lead to hcmon.sys Blue Screen of Death errors. These warnings appear to be caused by hcmon.sys which is used by VMware Player to detect USB ports becoming active. Sounds like you use USB 3 which is not supported on Windows hosts. Based on my search, you could go into services and disabled vmware usb arbitration service then you could test vmware to see if it still works.
