Set up:
VMware Workstation 10.0.4 on a Windows 8.1 64 bit host with 16 GB RAM
2 x Virtual machines running Windows 8.1 64 bit with 4 GB RAM each
Problem:
It appears that only the Workstation user interface is shut down: Both vm's are still running when Workstation is re-started on the host.
The issue has been confirmed on two different installations of Workstation.
Can anybody else confirm this issue?
I know that I can disable copy and paste in the VMware Workstation settings, and that copy and paste is not possible when connected remote to a shared vm.
However, I often use copy and paste between the host and the virtual machines.
Furthermore:
I have been using VMware Workstation since "forever" (Workstation 2), have always had copy and paste enabled (as long as it has been supported, if not always) and I have never before observed these crashes.

I have the same issue. Not fixed in Workstation 11. See the above thread.
Same problem here...
I'm using Workstation 11 on Windows 8.1 Pro (i7-2600K, 16 GB RAM, nVidia GTX670). I have to copy and paste through the host.
