KB4517211 causes VMware Workstation Pro 14.1.7 to fail

I'm having the same problem.

Just in case there is something we have in common:

I am running VMware Workstation 14 player

My CPU is an AMD 3700

I've confirmed that hyper-v is disabled

virtualization is still showing as enabled.

Oracle VM VirtualBox still works.

I need VMware Workstation 14 because 15 does not work with GNS3 yet.

 

Wow - VMware has killed off Shared VMs in VMware Workstation 16

One of the great features in VMware workstation was the ability to create Shared VMs. There were several good things about these VMs, only one of which was that they could start automatically without having to log onto the host system.

In VMware Workstation 16 that feature was simply abruptly removed with nothing but a one line sentence in the release notes stating that this feature has reached end of life.

This must have been some sort of knee jerk reaction because they didn't even remove all references to the feature in their version 16 User Guide and a clean install of VMware Workstation still installs the VMware Workstation Server service used for Shared VMs.

I guess that I may be going back to Hyper-V!

 

Windows 10 crashing when powering on VM on VMware workstation

Hi DaveM121,

My issue is windows 10 crashing when i power on VM on VMware workstation.

While we troubleshooting this issue, i have installed Virtualbox to create VM to create VMs as an alternate solution

However when we enabled driver verifier for 1st time, virtualbox driver caused BSOD during reboot which was initiated to get verifier settings into effect. As you informed, this crash was caused due to virtualbox driver hence i uninstalled it.

I have again enabled driver verifier for 2nd time and able to reproduce crash during powering ON vm on VMware workstation. It is caused by vmx86.sys which is relevant to VMware workstation hence I would need your expert advise on this.

am attaching minidump caused by vmx86.sys, kindly check and advise.

Please note that I have disabled driver verifier after collecting crash
