Or, I should say, they're "too big" for a single user like me.

From my experience VMWare has a very bad customer support. I tried it before and I never get responses from them.

I obviously posted this question on VMWare forums, but to be honest, I don't have much faith in them. So I'm curious if anyone knows a way to recover from this bug w/o force-quitting the VMs? The only way to recover from this bug is to force-quit the VMWare Workstation itself, or reboot the host PC, which are both analogous to me flipping the power switch on all guest VMs (with data being lost in them) which is very annoying! Note that if I try to send Ctrl+Alt+Del keyboard sequence to any of those "hung up" guest VMs nothing happens. (Note that it doesn't happen all the time and is somewhat sporadic.) Here's a quick animated GIF screengrab to show what happens afterwards:Īs you can see, only the first VM seems to respond to clicks, the rest appear dead. So what I've been noticing (and yes, this is repeatable) is that sometimes when I wake the screen & log in to my host computer in the morning, most of the guest VMs don't seem to respond and show just a back screen. My host OS is set up to show a password protected screensaver after 5 minutes and then turn off the screen after 20 minutes of inactivity. I then usually load several guest OS's into it.

When VMWare first loads up at host PC boot I click "Enter full screen mode" button, which expands it to the size of that monitor. I have a 3-monitor desktop setup running Windows 8.1 (as a host OS.) I use one monitor exclusively to run VMWare Workstation 10.
