Dear Community Guru's.
I've found posts as old as 7 years old referring to this issue, and I'm having the exact problem now in 2019. I get the errors below in the event viewer each time I plug in our out a USB device. And also at random times ( without actually plugging in anything.)
I'm running VMware Workstation 15 pro, latest version as of today ( 15.0.2 build-10952284 ), on an ASUS ROG GL702V Notebook, on Windows 10 64 bits latest build (17763).
Reading in ASUS' forums, the only solution that actually works is to disable the "VMWare USB Arbitration Service" , but that is not a real solution since it disables the possibility to attach USB devices to VM's.
Any ideas/suggestions?
