No 3D support is available from the host. The 3D features of the virtual machine will be disabled.

Upgraded from last stable Fusion 10 to Fusion 11 on iMac. Upgraded virtual machine from v10 to v11 as prompted when opening Fusion 11 for first time.

VM is windows 7

Worked fine under Fusion 10, IE Aero and all graphics worked as expected, no error.

With Fusion 11, I get the error from title on booting the VM.

Minimizing/Maximizing windows now appears very choppy, VM at times appears to be sluggish without any apparent use.

Aero no longer works. Aero based themes are able to be selected, but none of the effects are visible.

Did not have the issue with Fusion 10. All worked as expected.

Tried repairing VMTools within the VM, but to no avail.

Not sure what else to try/do, looking for suggestions.

You can see this thread: Enabling legacy OpenGL support in Fusion 11 if you are running Fusion 11 on a Mac 2011 model.
