Mac Guest OS 10.11.6 El Capitan worked fine, even using VMware Tools, in my Mac Host Big Sur (11.6.1) and Fusion 12.2.1
As soon as I upgraded Host to Monterey the Guest Mac now boots to frozen keyboard and mouse. I was able to go back and remove VMware Tools from the Mac Guest, but it still boots up to non-working keyboard and mouse in Monterey. It appears to be working fine except I can't interact with it.
Anyone else experiencing the same? Is there a workaround?
