• Update Windows 10 November (10586 aka 1511): bcdedit/set hypervisorlaunchtype off, but VMware Workstation does not start VMs with conflict of Hyper-V

  Hi all

  I upgraded from Windows 10 Windows 10 November updated this morning.

  I have the Hyper-V role is installed and use it from time to time, but bcdedit to configure the boot loader to disable Hyper-V by hypervisorlaunchtype power off.

  This technique has worked with 10 Windows and VMware Workstation and I could start and run virtual machines

  Since I did the upgrade, I can't start VM with this standard message "VMware Workstation and Hyper-V are not compatible"

  I am running VMware Workstation 10, but suspect that this problem also exists with later versions.

  Everyone knows about this problem?

  Someone at - he found a solution?

  I'm willing to fork over $150 for 12 workstations to solve this problem, but I want to know with certainty that it is circumventing my problem.

  Thanks for that.

  Uninstallation and reinstallation of the hyper-v feature, following the upgrade of Windows Windows 10 November 10 update solved the problem.

  I still need to run the following command to disable the Hyper-V technology

  bcdedit/set hypervisorlaunchtype

  Thanks to everyone for their help.

• VMware workstation tray icon starts the Notepad?

  Whenever VMware Workstation 11 runs in the background and I double click on the icon my computer - Notepad opens instead of VWware workstation on the host.  The same thing happens if I right click and select "Open VMware Workstation.  This was happening before you install version 11.  I was hoping that the new version/installation might solve the problem.

  Since the installation of version 11 - I tried to uninstall and reinstall the application.  I also tried to uninstall, run the application to install with the option "/ clean" and then reinstalling with reboot between each.  I also tried the suite "The clean after an incomplete installation on a Windows Welcome guide" all with the same effect.

  Any ideas?  Other then not being able to open VMware Workstation via the everything tray icon works great.

  System:

  Windows Pro 8.1, 64-bit

  Dual Intel processors Xeon E5-2650 v2 - 32 hearts

  Dual NVIDIA Quadro K4000

  64 GB RAM DDR3

  Disk 512 GB SSD - RAID 0 system

  24 TB SAS - RAID 10

  After digging through many areas I final found the resolution to this problem.  The question which was the file extension. VMX was assigned to Notepad.  A quick reallocation in the 'Default settings programs' window and everything is fine.

  

• I have a problem starting up a Windows XP Pro Machine virtual Windows 8 host system (which has VMware Workstation 10.1).

  I am new to the virtual machines.  For several months I've been running a Windows XP Virtual Machine in an old machine of Windows 7 with VMware Workstation 7.0.  The hard drive is having some problems at times, so I thought that I could move the virtual machine on a new computer that has an OS 8.1 Windows and VMware Workstation 10.  For example, on the Windows 7 machine, I copied the directory with all the * .vm files and pasted into the machine to Windows 8. But when I tried to start VMware Workstation 10 in Windows 8 machine, I got the message "this virtual machine policies are too old to be run by this version of VMware."  I went to the knowledge base and used the solution described here: I've deleted the lines of three 'policy' of the .vmx file and added the suffix .ancien to the .vmpl file, which actually disabled.  Now, when I try to start the virtual machine, the black screen appears with the VMware logo in the Center and everything seems fine, but Windows XP starts.  And logo VMware guard churning away as in a continuous loop.  It is not easy to stop.  The only way to stop VMware is via the Task Manager or restart the machine.

  What must I do to get the Windows XP Pro VM to run in the new machine?

  VMWare technical support suggested that I have disable 3D acceleration (VM > settings > view and uncheck the box 3D graphics acceleration).  The virtual machine starts now with some minor problems, but it is usable.  But by closing accel 3D turns, in the words of the Technical Support Engineer, David, that there is "a problem with the graphics card not imitate or through its capacity to the virtual machine.  In other words do not support to the VM guest 3D acceleration. "My next step is to make sure that I have the updated driver for the Intel HD Graphics 4600 display adapter.

  Minor problems are:

  (1) the virtual machine works best in screen mode reduced.  There are a few problems speed mode full-screen.

  (2) the VM will still work after switching on of the host.  But after execution of the virtual machine, if power you the virtual machine and the release of VMware workstation, then later, start the workstation, the virtual machine will power not.

  To turn it on again you must out of VMware Workstation, disconnect the host machine and then reopen it in one.

• Cannot start the virtual machine on VMware Workstation 12.1.0

  The host machine is W2008R2, VM is the same. When im trying to start the current VM I see VMware screen, then "download files" screen loading, then VMware loading new screen and etc.

  Log file is attached below.

  An update of the firmware could certainly help.  After you install the update of the firmware, it can be useful following the instructions from the motherboard to reset the firmware configuration by default (if its configuration is not too heavily customized) and then reconfigure with custom settings, you might need.  Check that you have disabled in your TXT firmware settings too... who's going to stop us from using the capabilities of VT - x from the host.  And, where there is doubt, the error message is not really pleasant on cyclical food... Some systems cannot put a change of configuration of VT - x into force without being truly disconnected from power for a while, so if in case of doubt, he put it off and remove the power outlet for a few seconds.

  Your CPU is certainly capable of VT - x and support all the VT - x features required by VMware Workstation... Simply to force the system to allowing the use of VT - x and then it should start to work well.

  See you soon,.

• 15 Ubuntu won't start in VMware workstation 12 after a recent update of Ubuntu

  I'm quite new to the environment virtual system and linux. Someone could me help on my question below?

  I have a virtual system installed using VMware workstation 12. It works fine, until the upgrade of Ubuntu this morning.

  I have no idea what the update installed.

  After the required reboot, Windows VMware has always stop a black page.

  Before everything, there were some posts that I think they should be useful to target the issue here.

  

  He said:

  SMbus host controller not activated!

  No valid rapl area found within the package 0

  Thank you very much for your help!

  -Ninggang

  I found a solution!

  There is problem of ubuntu, new kernel is bad and it's a bug.

  To start again just hold SHIFT while your machine virtual machine to the menu shows ubuntu boot.

  Select Advanced, then choose more old kernel version and that's all.

  After you restart your virtual machine it always start on black screen, you need to delete newes kernel version linux-headers - 4.2.0 - 30 to begin on the old version and problem SOLVED!

  remove the kernel:

  sudo apt-get remove linux-image-4.2.0-30-generic
sudo update-grub2

  reboot.

• VMWare Workstation 10 - jerky and unresponsive under load. [UPDATE: DisplayFusion cause possible] [SOLVED: DisplayFusion parameters]

  I have a problem with some VMWare Workstation customers, which case the mouse and keyboard to the virtual machine stops responding for a second or two under load. The mouse cursor stops, or jerk around the screen, and once past the load will be generally shot in another part of the screen. Similarly, the keyboard will become unresponsive, but when the load goes it will tend to double/triple type characters have been typed during the slow down.

  I use these virtual machines primarily for programming and a good example of the guest being "under load" is when I am compiling; It is a heavy load of CPU and i/o load.

  Two 64-bit Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 comments behave in this way, even if a Windows 2003 R2 plu prompt does not work.

  The virtual machines are configured with 2 GB or 4 GB, which is set to adapt to the host (who has much free). Virtual machines and disks are on one of the the two SSD drives. They are both configured to monitor several. In both cases, there is a virtual primary 60GB, preeallocated and no split disk and a virtual disk of 10 GB, allocated in advance, do not divide and define it as independent.

  I tried a number of settings, including having acceleration 3D on and out, manually replacing the CPU virtualization settings in VMWare and I tried all the following settings (together) and of which none have solved the problem:

  svga.vramSize = 134217728

  mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

  sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "FALSE".

  prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = 'TRUE '.

  mainmem.backing = 'swap '.

  insulation. Tools.Unity.Disable = 'TRUE '.

  If I connect via RDP to these machines, rather than using the workstation console, I do not understand the problem and there is not any particularly notable slowdown in performance

  I had this behavior earlier in 9 work stations, but the upgrade to 10 did not make a difference.

  Someone at - it recommendations for investigating or fixing this problem - it renders useless VMs for software development which is their main purpose?

  Thanks in advance for any advice or help.

  My host system is as follows:

  Mobo: ASUS P8Z68-V PRO

  CPU: Intel i7 2600 K

  RAM: 16 GB

  Video: Nvidia 580 for 2 monitors, integrated Intel SandyBridge third.

  HARD drive: the hosts to the Samsung 840 Pro SSD, SSD Crucial M225 CT128, Western Digital 2 TB HARD drive

  SE host: Windows 7 x 64

  [SOLVED]

  Thanks to Keith Lammers in this thread on the site of DisplayFusion.

  It seems that the activation of the option of the processor affinity in the Fusion Advanced Setttings display makes the disappearance of the problem.

• VMware Workstation 10 bug: DVD SATA drive does not start if we disable the floppy drive in the VMware BIOS

  Hello

  I use VMware Workstation 10, and I found a bug:

  With the all-new virtual machine (for example with Windows 8 x 64), if I choose a hard SATA and SATA DVD drive in VMware and I have to disable the floppy drive in the VMware BIOS, Windows 8 (or Windows 7) ISO does not start.

  If I come back in the BIOS to enable the floppy drive once again, my ISO boot.

  If I use the DVD IDE drive in VMware options, no problem if I disable the floppy drive.

  With "EFI mode", no bugs.

  Please, can you solve this problem? Thank you

  Hi freebeing,

  Thank you for reporting this issue.  We have reproduced it is internal and work on it.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

  See you soon,.

• VMware Workstation VMX unrecoverable ERROR when starting a VMachine

  Hi all

  This is my first post and would really apreciate to help as I am facing a problem with VM Workstation (and with VMplayer)

  I installed an evaluation of VMware Workstation 9 on my PC (see attached the System Configuration.png).

  When you try to start a newly created VMachine I still get the same error you see in 2 attached images-screenshots 'fatal error VMX' and after that "cannot find a peer process valid to connect to" (see attachment VMware Player - Workstation and VMware Player - Workstation Error_02.png Error_01.png)

  I don't really know what else to try, I tried to reinstall VM Workstation 9, I uninstalled VM Workstation 9 and tryied with VMPlayer 4 and 5, but I still get the same error.

  As you can see in attachment System Configuration.png my motherboard is made with the NVidia GeForce 7100 Northbridge and SouthBridge NForce 630i2008.

  I have attached vmware.log and vmware-vmx - 3468.dmp

  I also check with VM tools boot cd and the results where 'compatible with VMWARE = YES ". only RDTSCP was: No.

  Can someone please? wouldn't be a problem of compatibility of equipment?

  Thank you in advance, I really apreciate any help.

• ESX 3.5 if slow start on VMware Workstation 6.5?

  Someone has something to boot the ESX 3.5 faster VM on VMware Workstation 6.5 all parameters in VMX file?  It seems too slow when start with 2048 MB of RAM for each created virtual computer.  I took about 30 minutes is this normal?

  I also have one of this type of gear and it works very well and kicked around max 2-3 minutes.  You can check your settings and creation:

  1. create the new virtual machine with WS 6.5 mode and choose the option to create the virtual disk now so it can speed up your performance bit.

  2. remove the disk, sound, USB devices

  3. modify the "processor" just for VT VT/AMD Intel instead of two EPT and it give '2 vCPU' as well.

  4. close WS 6.5 and edit the .vmx file and place the monitor entry door back to "true", as shown above

  5. make sure that you have 'two vCPU' for both VMs.

  6 image .iso 3.5 mount ESX of ROM and make installation took about 5 minutes to fill very quickly if you gave him 2-4 GB of ram.

  7. If not work try combination of "MMU" for hardware/software see if it works except that it must work.  Just check VT as well enable on BIOS.

  Let us know what your results are like.

  If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '. Thank you!!!

• VMware Workstation Player does not start on Fedora 23

  I've recently updated to Fedora 22 23 Fedora and can no longer run VMware Workstation 12.0.1 Player.

  I tried to uninstall the component using sudo vmware-Installer - components uninstall = vmware-player and then put it back, nothing will do. The installation is always successful, but when I try to run the application, it runs for a little while, then give up. I tried to uninstall it remove once again the previous configuration, but it still doesn't work.

  I am running

  Workstation Fedora 23

  Linux kernel 4.2.6 - 300.fc23.x86_64

  3.18.1 GNOME release

  I got it working by following this link: http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1624

  It's a very simple solution. Basically, you just copy the libraries that are not in the directory of vmware.

  As root, run the following commands:

  # cd /usr/lib/vmware/lib
  # cp -afv /usr/lib64/libgio-2.0.so.0.4600.2 libgio-2.0.so.0/libgio-2.0.so.0
  # cp -afv /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.4600.2 libglib-2.0.so.0/libglib-2.0.so.0
  # cp -afv /usr/lib64/libgmodule-2.0.so.0.4600.2 libgmodule-2.0.so.0/libgmodule-2.0.so.0
  # cp -afv /usr/lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0.4600.2 libgobject-2.0.so.0/libgobject-2.0.so.0
  # cp -afv /usr/lib64/libgthread-2.0.so.0.4600.2 libgthread-2.0.so.0/libgthread-2.0.so.0
  

  Although I have not yet tested all virtual machines, this has at least the operational programme. It should solve the problem entirely. If for some reason vmware is not installed in/usr/lib/vmware, just replace the directory there. If you are unsure, running vmware whereis should tell you.

  Edit:

  I can say that this solution was able to load my virtual machines with great success. I don't need to reinstall VMWare on one of the boxes of Fedora, however (and removing the configuration files), but after that, it worked fine.

• Re: Satellite keyboard Funtions vs. VmWare Workstation

  Hello

  I'm new to this forum...
  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite U500-115.
  After you install all the programs I need, I noticed that the eco and the start/stop button lights buttons didn t work anymore.

  I uninstalled programs Toshiba - nothing works. So I installed win 7 pro x 64 again.
  Buttons worked!!

  I discovered that vmware workstation 6 and 7 are at the origin of this problem.
  As soon as I install the vmworkstation software the keys won´t work.
  Uninstall--> buttons work.
  I don't want to use both: buttons and vmware 6 or 7.
  It seems to work with vmware 5.x, but this version of vmware is officially not recommended to work with win7. It takes about 10 minutes push button vmware initially until the vm ware starts booting.

  Perhaps someone could confirm this problem.
  Hope of a quick solution!
  Concerning
  bachmayeah

  Maybe it sounds pessimistic now, but I don't think you'll have a quick solution to this.
  The feature tools and utilities Toshiba is tested with the own operating system preinstalled and not with some third-party additional party software.
  Can you imagine how these applications you will find there? Who should test the functionality with hundreds of other application? It is certainly not possible.

  I use VmWare, but I imagine that there is a problem where two applications met the other.

  Sorry, but I don't think that there is nothing you can do about it.
