4 In the Gaming section, select a setting that fits how you expect to use your mouse.
Option Description
Auto-detect Mouse for Games
Fusion detects when it needs to lock a mouse to a virtual machine window
for correct operation during gaming. If no game is detected, the mouse
works in the normal fashion. This is the default setting.
Never Optimize Mouse for Games
In some cases, the autodetect function can detect nongame applications as
games. Use this option to turn autodetect off so that the mouse can work in
the normal fashion for these applications.
Always Optimize Mouse for Games
In some cases, the autodetect function fails to recognize a game. Use this
option to have correct mouse operation for gaming in this instance.
5 (Optional) In the Updates section, select the Automatically check for updates check box to have Fusion
check for software updates when it starts.
A message alerts you when a new version of Fusion is available to download and install. If you do not
select the Automatically check for updates check box, you can check for updates manually at any time
by selecting VMware Fusion > Check for Updates.
6 In the Feedback section, set how to handle data collection by VMware.
If you select the check box, certain anonymous data is sent to VMware when you update the software.
Knowing how Fusion customers use the current version can help VMware make decisions about future
versions of the product. You can click Learn More to see the privacy policy and the kind of data to be
collected. Deselect the check box if you do not want to participate in the program.
