Unable to use Keyboard with VMware Player or vSphere

Been a while since I've posted, but this one I've wasted a day or two trying to resolve and couldn't find any information anywhere.

Issue: VMWare vSphere or Workstation accepting mouse input, but not keyboard input.

Cause: Windows update KB2973201 - A security update for tablet features, unnecessary for most users.

Workaround: Uninstall the update. Hide in windows updates to prevent reinstalling.

Fix: TBA
