After upgrading Mac to Catalina 10.15.5 Fusion 11.5.5 just hangs and consumes 100% CPU

Hi:

Everything was working fine until I allowed my Mac to install update to Catalina 10.15.5

After restart Fusion starts but it get's stuck trying to open any VM and consumes 100% of the Mac CPU.

Any ideas?

Best Regards,

Edgar

Sounds like we might have been in the same boat. Give this a read: All Linux guest VMs hang immediately after Fusion 11.5.5 upgrade

TLDR: remove / add all security settings (that you are allowed to remove / add) for VMware Fusion. That's what solved my problem. Hope that helps.

Hi, Could you provide the following information for further investigation,

Your host hardware version and VMWare.log, vmware-vmfusion.log

Thanks,

Rachel
