Hi, I've a similar but slightly different issue. When vmware player is in focus and running on 2nd machine (Windows 10) - mouse buttons and keyboard do not register in the running vm. If I minimise everything on 2nd desktop (using other keyboard) normal keyboard/mouse actions work.

I'm experiencing the same issue. Windows 11 both systems. Mouse buttons unresponsive thru MWB when VMWare workstation is in focus.
