    vmware Linux HOST W10 VM can't launch apps from taskbar


    Hi there

    W10 X-64 pro (build 10547) and vmware workstation rel 12 - in full screen mode can't launch apps from taskbar.

    Works fine in Windowed mode

    This happens on LINUX Hosts - (Opensuse, Centos and Mint)

    Cheers

    port win 10 on local vm

    - Bought a refurbished machine with win 10 + digital entitlement (most probably after win 8 upgrade)

    - Created a vm via vmware as "image" of the physical system

    - The vm win10 guest seemed to have no activation problems on win10 host

    Problems come when launching the vm on linux host (same physical machine): the win10 guest is not able to activate. Besides this causes a bunch of key/mouse etc.. driver unsolvable problems.

    All this was pretty easy with pid oem licences (e.g. w7). How can that be solved, if it could?

    Thanks for reading
