Hi,

I have Windows 10 64-bit laptop and I have installed -
VMware® Workstation 12 Pro
version: 12.5.9 build-7535481
And a CentOS 7.4 virtual machine inside that.

Under VMware Workstation -> VM -> settings -> Options -> Guest Isolation ->

both enable drag & drop and copy & paste are ticked. But still I am not able to copy and paste anything.

Anand,

This is most likely a VMWare Workstation issue. I found what may be the solution in comment 20 on this VMware thread. https://communities.vmware.com/thread/436411?start=15&tstart=0

It's Workstation 9 but it seems to be referenced in several other threads with older and newer versions of Workstation. Some comments indicated a bug with VMWare.

I hope it helps
