Suspicious behaviour regarding vmware workstation on win10 vs win7

$

We are in process of migrating from win7 to win10..

 

our day-to-day work, involving using VMWare Workstation with a security product (DLP) to protect data from leaking through VMWare Workstation.

 

The way the DLP works -in this context- is to prevent the sensitive data from going through these two executables related to VMWare:

1- vmware.exe

2- vmware-vmx.exe

 

The normal scenario is that any file copied from the host machine to the guest machine, will go through "vmware-vmx.exe" executable. But for the exact same version of VMWare workstation installed on Windows 10, this is not what it happens at all!

I figure that when I traced it via ProcessMonitor (Windows Sysinternals)

 

Now what is happening under the hood when copying a file from host to guest in Windows 10 or even 8.1 because it seems like something changed which causes this issue.

 

I hope I made my self clear about this problem. If you need more clarification just ask.
