again.</LI><LI>After this your vm's should appear in the "Configure VM power actions" panel.</LI></OL><P>It worked for me. I hope it will help others.</P> Sun, 04 Dec 2022 13:47:33 GMT https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/VMWare-Workstation-17-Pro-Autostart-Service-is-not-working/m-p/2942095#M179009 kawe666 2022-12-04T13:47:33Z https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/VMWare-Workstation-17-Pro-Autostart-Service-is-not-working/m-p/2993131#M183400 <P>This worked!
