    vmplayer 7 can not access internet in windows 10

    Thanks for the feedback. We are sorry to hear of your networking problem which occurred as a result of upgrading to Windows 10. Removing and reinstalling your version of VMWare Player after the upgrade to Windows 10 will likely resolve your problem (as
    it will restart the key VMWare networking services which enable your PC and VMs to have network connectivity). VMWare has also updated its line of desktop virtualization software to be Windows 10 compatible. You may also want to update to the latest versions
    of VMware Workstation 12 Player.

    Thanks,

    Michael

    Free VMPlayer compatibility with Windows 10 as the host OS

    At this point in time, none of the VMWare players are compatible with Windows 10 host. I have tried all of them up to and including version 12. There are no errors but all guest OS will be painfully slow. Hopefully, VMWare will release a Windows 10
    compatible player. I went back to Windows 8.1 host and all my machines are running fast again.

    Vmware update (workstation) 12..5.5 + vmplayer available

    Thanks for the update note. Btw is there anyway to create a desktop shortcut directly to the VM on the free version or is that just avaliable on the paid version?

    Should have created one when it installed, if you checked that option (can't remember if there is an option).. but if not:

    Navigate to the .exe in Program Files (x86), right click, send to, Desktop (create shortcut)...

    @f14tomcat That creates a shortcut to the Player which then loads up and I have to select the VM. It doesnt launch the VM directly on a shortcut.

    Oops! Sorry, misunderstood.

    I just did the same thing with the configuration file of the VM I wanted. And the Desktop shortcut opened it up and ran.
