VMware fusion hang and shows no responding with 100% CPU

RS007_SG — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 08:30:53 GMT

Guys,

Started from yesterday and don't know what happened.

Tried to do a fresh reinstallation and move all VM files out of laptop, no luck.

After installation, can't even click the DONE of the last installation step to close the window.

My laptop is Macbook pro 2019 16" + MacOS 11.3.1 + Fusion 12.1.2

Anyone has idea? Thanks

There is a function of the VMTN platform which is great for dumping log text into, from the editor toolbar click the icon of a triangle with exclamation mark to add a “spoiler”, the effect is this:

This makes scrolling through a thread so much easier for every user, if they want to see your log they can, but they can more quickly get to the replies below it.

Hi,

That's probably this issue:
