Keyboard Grabbing does not work after leaving VMware Worksation Virtual Machines

[cmprmsd]

Keyboard grabbing does not work when the VMware Workstation window is active.
I tried multiple workarounds e.g. running as administrator, uninstalling the enhanced keyboard driver etc. but I could not get it to work.

VMware states, that the "enhanced keyboard driver" would stop keyloggers from reading the input. However, it seems even without it, SylphyHornEx has no chance of reading the keys.

I know this is very specific, but when I want to switch between workspaces after getting out of a VM (ctrl+alt) the actual Windows hotkeys will proceed instead of my overrides. E.g. Win+2 would still open the second application in my taskbar, while I want to switch to the second workspace.
