    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.

    :)

    Vmware workstation 7 stoped working after upgrade from Win7SP1 to Win10

    Upgrade was perfect for all applications. But VMware workstation 7.1.6 went through the upgrade process but the VMs on the machine did not restart giving memory error. Reinstalled the software, VMs still do not start saying the "Authorization Service not
    started. Tried to install latest VMware Player 12, (VMware claims it runs on Win10), even that did not start. Both VMware 7.1.6 and VMware player 12 during installation gave an apparently non-fatal error message pertaining to "IRQL_NOT_LESS_NOT_EQUAL". Running
    Win10 Pro 64-bit with latest updates. Any suggestion to make VMware 7.1.6 work is welcome - PKM

    BlueScreen when shutting down a VMWare Workstation OS


    Consistently receiving a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION bluescreen when shutting down a vmware workstation OS (in this case a windows 7 OS).

    Was running on VMWare workstation 10, upgraded to 11 but am still experiencing this behaviour.

    Side effect of this is that the virtual machine will get destroyed and is not rebootable on a restart, I have to revert to a complete backup of the virtual machine.

    Attached the dump file generated by the tool?

    Any suggestions?
