I was able to rebuild the image with settings to bypass alt ctrl delete. Once I got in I notice my keyboard did not work at all. Since my mouse and keyboard are bluetooth connected via usb I found a few help documents that pointed me to the USB connections. I ran into an issue where it would not let me connect the keyboard as it would disconnect it from my host. I was able to overcome this by adding the following to the VMX file.
usb.generic.allowLastHID = "TRUE"
Now when I connect the USB I find an error stating that the keyboard could not connect due to a registry issue. I am going to try to reinstall the keyboard drivers to try to resolve.
Strange how the keyboard works normal when the vmware instance is booting (when you select to start windows normally or run in safe mode it works fine) but once you get into windows it does not work.
