When I do so, the external HD is disconnected from the host Windows 10, but fails to be connected to the VM instead, after something like 2 minutes, a warning message appears: An icon, disabled, appears in the VMWare menu and I have the possibility to ask it to connect. Now everytime I run the VM the external HD remains connected to the host Windows 10. But this didn't occur after the update to Windows 10: I don't remember the first message, but the external HD couldn't be connected to the Ubuntu virtual machine. Back when using Windows 7.0, when I started the Ubuntu inside VMWare this would automatically reconnect the external HD to Ubuntu and everything would work fine. I have a external Samsung HD connected via USB 2.0 to my PC. Some time ago I updated the later to Windows 10 and when I started my Linux Ubuntu Gnome with VMWare, a problem appeared.

I have a VMWare Player version 6.0.0 installed on my machine since when I was using Windows 7 圆4.
