BIOS configuration screen, boot selection screen) All three of the keyboards worked before Windows booted (e.g.I tested using the internal laptop keyboard, an external USB keyboard connected via a docking station, and a different external USB keyboard connected directly to the laptop.
After rebooting, I could not use any keyboard once Windows was booted.
WHAT IS AN ENHANCED KEYBOARD DRIVER VMWARE INSTALL
I just encountered the same, or a similar, problem when upgrading from VMware Workstation 12.something to 15.0.4 on my Windows 7 laptop.ĭuring the installation/upgrade, I elected to install the VMware Enhanced Keyboard Driver. Reboot, and your keyboard shouldn't hijack the special keys (ctrl-alt-del). You choose the quit option from the menu, and make sure to use a lower y to write the data in the hive. the -q will save your string (kbdclass) and then abandon all the other strings. You should now see a list of items along the lines of:įollowed by instructions, and ending with a blank prompt. Check this, you should now see Keyboard If you have an additional key that starts with that first group, you may need to continue adding characters from the specific class listed in the initially linked post. the cd, apparently, will choose the best location to go to. I HAD NOTHING TO LOSE DOING THIS BECAUSE MY NEXT STEP WAS REBUILDING MY chntpw -i system ONLY DO THIS IF YOU FEEL CONFIDENT IN WORKING ON THIS. Using chntpw in Ubuntu to Hacking the Windows Registry

In addition to the post you linked to (which gives me the hive location), I used this document to determine how to interactively edit: You may not need the ntfs-3g, but I was forcing a read-only mount of my drive because ntfs issues. this installed change nt password, which has an interactive registry hive editor, and ntfs-3g, which had ntfsfix. Make necessary adjustments as pacman -S chntpw, ntfs-3g I used arch, so I'll run through the actual steps I used. I'm about to run through the install again, and see if you actual warn about it (you might, and I just didn't pay attention). Not sure what you'd need to do, but that's a show stopper.
WHAT IS AN ENHANCED KEYBOARD DRIVER VMWARE PRO
Perhaps load the driver only when with VMWare Workstation pro is running, then unloading on shutdown. This is what I'm hoping VMWare can address in future iterations. No RDP, no enter-pssession, no invoke-command from powershell can be used even if they were all able to be used before. It becomes an issue because your host machine will never receive the 'ctl-alt-del' to allow you to login. That's a great feature, unless you happen to be on a domain that requires you to login.
The 'enhanced keyboard' passes key combinations such as 'ctl-alt-del' to VMs in Workstation. You were lucky in that you could actually log into the machine, I was completely locked out of my host machine and had to boot into a linux live usb.
Additionally, hopefully VMWare will see this answer and make some changes to the vmkdb for future iterations. Hopefully someone else who has this issue will find this. I understand that this is more than 6 months old and this person probably has either resolved the issue or done what ever else was necessary to get around the issue.
