Windows 10-12 Pro Workstation - host host hangs

I use a dual monitor Workstation 12 Pro (upgrade for a couple of years) on a circuit that uses Windows 7.  I've recently upgraded the host Windows 10 Pro operating system.

In general, I have 2-3 virtual computers comments running both with a mix of Linux, Windows 7, windows 10 and windows 8.1.

When the host is Windows 7, I sometimes had problems with the host freeze and lock up when windows 8.1 system was running.  The only solution was to reboot.  It seemed to occur frequently, if the host has made a windows update check.

Now that I've upgraded to Windows 10, it takes a few minutes to an hour for one of my virtual machines to cause the host of freeze-up.  By changing my strategy to group system, I put Windows Update to warn me before installing updates.  For example, Windows Update may not be the problem.

I ran all the usual equipment diagnostics and nothing comes up.  I've updated all my drivers at latest.

The host is not completely stuck, as I heard the rotating hard drives and I can ping the host.  However, no network of top-level service is sensitive, such as sharing files, WMI, remote registry service, etc.  The mouse is blocked in "waiting."  The taskbar does not respond and CTRL-ALT-DEL does nothing.  After the reboot, the windows event logs show nothing of interest.  I enabled debugging of VMware, but nothing unusual appears in newspapers.

I disabled 3D hardware acceleration for the guest virtual machines.  Nothing seems to work.

Any ideas on the best way to sort this?

OK, I noticed that right at the time of a recent deadlock, that a bunch of automatic maintenance tasks were running with Windows 10.  Using Task Scheduler, I disabled all associated Windows 10 automatic maintenance tasks:

-File history

-DiskCleanup

-Defrag

-Maintenance

-Windows Defender

-Application Data\DsSvcCleanup

-Chkdsk

-MemoryDiagnostic

-MUI

-Power efficiency diagnostic

Since then, I've been running without a deadlock during the night, which is a record since the update of Windows 10 for the host, but far from ideal.  I cross my fingers that this solves the problem.

  • Free virtualization software takes supported Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system?

    People,

    Hello. I need to install the Windows 7 host virtualization software, and then install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

    VMware Workstation supports Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system, but it's not free download.

    People know that supports virtualization software free Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system invited?

    Thanks in advance.

    As I said in your previous post, VMWare Player is a free download and does not support Win7 as host and Win2k3 as a guest.  VMWare Player is also included with VMWare Workstation, you can imply that most of the time something that supports VMWare Workstation as a guest operating system is also a guests supported for the reader.

    And unlike previous versions, player 3 includes the ability to create virtual machines base.  For many people, especially those who are starting just in virtualization, player is sufficient.

    VMWare Workstation, although not free, can be installed as a 30 day trial.  After the trial, you can not start your virtual machines in my computer, but because the player is included in the installation, you can still run your virtual machines in the drive without having to uninstall anything.  So just install Workstation.  After the trial expires, if you wish that the advanced features of the workstation, then buy it.  If not, just continue to use the drive.

  • What support VMware Windows 7 as a guest host and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system operating system?

    People,

    Hello.

    Because my laptop is preinstalled Windows 7 and cannot dual boot multiple operating systems. I need to install VMware in Windows 7 host and then install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

    I installed VMware Server 2.0.2 in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 operating system as a guest host. Everything works fine for a while. But VMware Server Home Page https://mylaptop:8333 / IU cannot display more.

    I found that Windows 7 is not a host for VMware Server 2 and strange operating system might happen at any time. I found that 'VMware Player 3' is fully supported in Windows 7 as host operating system but is not taken in charge of Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

    People knows what product VMware Windows 7 support as host operating system and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system prompted?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    IMHO, I think that Workstation is the vmware product just for you, the requirements

    It supports Windows 7 as a facilitator and Windows 2003 as a host with no problems. You can be confident about it at 100%.

    Best wishes / Saludos.

  • Windows Live Photo Gallery Codec Host and COM Surrogate stopped working. How do fix you this?

    When I try to use Windows Live Photo Gallery, the program opens, but then I get 2 two errors as shown below:

    (1), Windows Live Photo Gallery Codec Host has stopped working
    A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Please close the program
    (2) COM Surrogate has stopped working
    A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
    One of the error messages suggested that I go to Windows Update to see if I could get a fix it.  I tried a few times, but no luck.
    I am running Windows Vista SP2 (32 bit) on a Gateway GM5474 computer.  I loved this machine and problems have been almost non-existent.  I set it up as a dual boot with Ubuntu Linux (11.04) machine as my other OS.  I'm not an expert, but I don't think it would affect the operation of this program, isn't it?
    I also wanted to mention that the creation of Windows DVD works as well, but I'll get some help on this and if I find anything, I'll go back to Microsoft Answers for help.
    I want to thank you in advance for your support.  I got the great help from you in the past.

  • Autologin in Windows using Microsoft Account 10 in 12 Pro Workstation?

    Hi, I have failed to find a way of automatically to connect to my Windows VM 10 using a Microsoft Account in workstation Pro 12. Could you please help?

    If I could be charged to use a local account, also let me know if I log on to the same account I would open a session using the Microsoft account - if there is a DOE of account and an account MS name [email protected] tied to it, it's the same to connect with joe and [email protected] ?

    Hi, thanks for the tip. I recommend that you rather use 'official' as described in enable AutoConnect for not having their obvious passwords stored in the registry. Since this is the password for your Microsoft Account, once it's stolen, the bad guys can not only open a session on several sites and devices, but same purchase with your payment method, or also gives access to your mails.

    On the other hand, I don't think automatic connection enabling must be a complete and accurate VMware response. I do understand and appreciate Pro Workstation does not sing in a field, but Microsoft Accounts is not a domain in this sense. An update should be released, which does not of error messages when the domain part is MicrosoftAccount. This would let us use our PCs workgroup ideally, while the use of the company is always forbidden. Could you, please, forward that request to the parties concerned?

    Kind regards.

  • Pro workstation is unbootable: libcanberra-gtk - module.so not found

    There is also a workaround for wks 12.1:

    edit /usr/bin/vmware and put in the following line somewhere near the top close to the existing export statements:
    "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libglibmm-2.4.so.1/libglibmm-2.4.so.1".

    In this place, Workstation GUI starts, even though she always spits error messages (or warning) in the console:

    GTK Message: could not load module 'canberra-gtk-module': libcanberra-gtk - module.so: could not open the object file shared: no such file or directory

    GTK Message: could not load module 'canberra-gtk-module': libcanberra-gtk - module.so: could not open the object file shared: no such file or directory

  • New windows in Acrobat Pro XI are compensated

    When you open a PDF file in Acrobat Pro XI on a Mac, each new window opens slightly offset to the right of the previous window, regardless of whether or not the window is still open. This means that the windows disappear slowly under the different windows of tool box that I leave hanging on the right side of the screen, etc. before the flight. So I you start manually drag windows to the left so that I can read the content. Not a big deal that you may think but very annoying when you have to make hundreds times a day.

    Is it possible to make windows of documents always open in the same place?

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi Dryck,

    This is done by design to allow you to more easily see the other open files. There is no way to change this feature at the moment. Your question of ' is there a way to always make document open in the same place windows, the only solution is to click on the button "Expand" on the title bar.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post on Win8.1 drivers and wanted to help.

    For Win8x, the Home and Pro versions only see different features that come with each of two Windows versions.

    The drivers for all versions of Win8.1 are the same.

    Good luck

  • Validity Sensor does not not in dv7t - 6 c 00 CTO Quad Edition using Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit

    Hello

    I have a Pavilion dv7 (dv7t - 6 c 00) CTO Quad Edition (product # A1L77AV) I can't get the validity fingerprint sensor to work after installing Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit from scratch.

    Windows 8 drivers that are available for this model do not seem to work. Other drivers Windows 8.1 available in the HP site do not seem to work either.

    The unit shows in the management of the computer as a work, I guess by using a Microsoft Driver. The Unit presents itself as "validity sensors (WBF) (PID = 0018)' in the biometric devices topic."

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello SauveDuro, welcome to the Forums of HP.

    I see you are trying to install the drivers for the fingerprint reader on the laptop for Windows 8.1, you've seen questions get this working.

    Unfortunately, HP does not drivers for Windows 8.1 for your laptop.

    The most I can recommend in this case, check the manufacture of each component for Windows 8.1-compatible drivers.  Here's a link of validity, you may be able to get drivers that work for him: http://www.validityinc.com/software/hp/wbf.php.
