(VM_STATE_CREATE_SCREENSHOT -> VM_STATE_CREATE_SCREENSHOT): Invalid state

[hendersp3]

Does anyone know why I am seeing these in hostd.log?  We do not run any snapshots in this environment.  Perhaps someone knows more detail about this state change and why it is being attempted?

Thank You

Per my understanding, you will see these events when you click on the Summary tab of the VM and the host tries to capture the screen of the VM. Unless you are having any issues with the VM, these events are informational.

Please consider marking this answer as "correct" or "helpful" if you think your questions have been answered.

Thank you Supreet.  I will run a quick test and see.

Yes, that does appear to be the cause of the messages.  They will vary a little depending on the state of the vm.

Thanks again
