Windows 10 support

Any word from vmware as to when Fusion will support Windows 10 Preview?  Think Win 10 will work in Fusion tomorrow when it is released?

Thank you.

Have just updated to build 9926 through the update mechanism. It looks like the video drivers aren't working with the latest Windows 10 update.

I suppose it was too much to expect the old VMware Tools to work with such a vastly different build.

If anyone has any workarounds to get the video drivers working, please feel free to share them

Thank you for this fix. I too mysteriously lost The Z: folder after some sort of Windows autoupdate restart.

Your registry fix was the fix for me.  I had reinstalled Tools before the fix (which did not cure) so I don't know if it would work by itself.  I had kept a copy of your recipe for future use.

The Explorer link \\vmware-host\  did work when the Z: folder had a red x on it but your registry fix is better.

Thanks again.

I will pass on your issue to the video and graphics developers about the new Windows 10 update.

If they know of a workaround then can either update here directly or let me know and I will do it.

Thanks

Thanks very much. Looking further into it, the drivers are working, but not as intended.

When the VM is used in windowed mode, it doesn't rescale the contents of the window properly (when the window is fully maximised), leaving two black bars on either side of the window.

Funnily enough, fullscreen mode works as intended, so it's only a problem with windowed mode.

Awesome, thanks for the information on this.

I have passed it on too.

However, I am sure that they will ask for the vmware.log file for the VM too.

Can you send that to me in a private message (assuming it is not too large)?

(If it is very large we may have to use our ftp site.)

Thanks.

Thanks for the tip on editing the registry after a Windows 10 update knocks out shared folders.  I discovered the uninstall / reinstall of VM Ware tools on my own.  Your solution worked easily.  I will have to update to latest version to see if this has been fixed.
