Turn Off the Copy and Paste Feature

The copy and paste feature is enabled by default when you create a virtual machine in Workstation Pro. To prevent copying and pasting between a virtual machine and the host system, disable the copy and paste feature.

Note: You cannot turn on or off the copy and paste feature for a remote virtual machine.

Procedure

1. Select the virtual machine and select VM > Settings.
2. On the Options tab, select Guest Isolation.
3. Deselect Enable copy and paste.
4. Click OK to save your changes.
