I tried to use the “apt-get install open-vm-toolbox” instead of vmware tools. I tried to re-install vmware tools inside the VM. I tried a lot of things and almost googled myself to death trying to figure this out. The VM I had trouble with was running Kali Linux. This problem only occured if had an external monitor also attached. It felt like the mouse pointer was not aligned. When I dragged window inside the VM it would end up somewhere else then where I released it. When switching to full screen the mouse did not behave as expected. The mouse would jump in and out of the VM constantly while in window mode.

Actually Windows 10 (9926 build) is now for technical preview, this would be a compatible issue, we may need wait for a stable, compatible version. Alternatively, use the vSphere Web Client which can be accessed from browser on a Windows operating system, Linux or Mac.
