You can replicate server, desktop, and tablet environments in a virtual machine and allocate multiple processor cores, gigabytes of main memory, and graphics memory to each virtual machine, whether the virtual machine resides on a personal PC or on a private enterprise cloud.

Known Issues
-
In the Virtual Machine Wizard, Workstation might show an incorrect version for a selected ISO image of the FreeBSD Operating System
While creating a virtual machine, if you select the ISO image of the FreeBSD 12.x or 13.x operating system, the Virtual Machine Wizard shows an incorrect version of the FreeBSD operating system.
Note:
This does not impact the installation of the operating system. You can manually change the guest operating system type when the VM is powered off.
Manually set the operating system type to the corresponding version of FreeBSD.
-
If you configure Auto Start for a virtual machine, the virtual machine console might show a blank screen when the host machine boots up
If you configure the Auto Start feature for a virtual machine, when a host machine starts, the vmware-vmx.exe process powers on the virtual machine. When the host machine starts without a user logging into the Windows, the vmware-vmx.exe process runs on Session 0. The Windows Session 0 isolation security restricts the video rendering of the virtual machine. This results in a blank screen that appears on the virtual machine console.
Workaround:
You can use the following workarounds to see the virtual machine user interface:
-
Use an alternate way to connect and see the virtual machine user interface. For example, VNC Viewer or Remote Desktop Viewer.
-
Suspend the virtual machine, and then resume the virtual machine in Workstation Pro.
-
Resolved Issues
-
USBarbitrator64.exe on the Host is crashing while searching Bluetooth devices inside the guest virtual machine
When you try to add a Bluetooth device to a virtual machine, USBArbitrator.exe on the Host crashes, and the Bluetooth device fails to connect to the virtual machine.
This issue is resolved.
-
Cannot open multiple virtual machines at the same time
If more than one virtual machine runs and shares a common VM directory, you cannot open more than one such virtual machine at the same time.
This issue is resolved.
-
For the Fedora 64-bit guest operating system, you cannot specify the firmware
When you try to create a virtual machine with the Fedora 64-bit guest operating system, you do not get the option to choose between UEFI and BIOS firmware in the New Virtual Machine Wizard.
This issue is resolved.
-
Unclear images appear on the Microsoft Edge browser
On a virtual machine with Windows guest operating system, unclear images appear on the Microsoft Edge browser.
This issue is resolved.
