I don't think this is a duplicate post, as I haven't found an answer to the issue as yet..
I like to keep my display always on, so I have Windows' power settings set to 'Turn off the display: never' under my power plan.
However, even before powering up my guest OS (Ubuntu 15.10 at the moment), Windows' power settings get changed to 'Turn off the display: after 15 minutes' as soon as I start up Workstation 12 Player.
It was happening earlier too (late last year), on a previous install of Windows 7, but I never got around to addressing it.
Is anyone else having this issue, or able to suggest a potential fix?
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (host)
VMware Workstation 12 Player
