What versions of macOS and Fusion are you running? Looks like some macOS 11 Bg Sur release.

Sorry, not only windows 10 64 bit crahes with the newest fusion version 12.1.2, but all virtual machines, also windows 7 32 or 64 bit!

The problem is osx 12.0 beta, the same virtual machines works perfectly under osx 11.5

Vmware must clear with apple the reason and this must be solved until this version will be released in next time

Update

I have found that since disconnecting my Dell external display, I am able to use VMware without any issues

Any ideas why this may be the case?
