VMware Fusion 11.0.2 on MacBook Air 2018 Not Responding

Product: VMware Fusion 11.0.1 11.0.2

Hardware: MacBook Air 2018, 16GB Memory, 512GB Storage

OS: 10.14.1

Guest: Ubuntu Linux Desktop 18.10 64-bit, 4GB Memory, 40GB storage, 1 processor core

I am finding that VMWare Fusion freezes periodically throughout the day, about every couple hours for one, maybe two minutes. At this time the guest freezes with the spinning mouse, and Activity Monitor reports the application is not responding.

I changed the number of processor cores from 2 to 1 with no change.

The host OS seems fine at these times. It is occurring even at times when I am not pushing the host or guest very hard. Any idea what might be causing these freezes?

I am not yet 100% certain, but I think that disabling "Enable 3D Acceleration" solved my issue performance. I don't think I specifically turned it on, it was on by default when I created the guest.

I recall having performance issues with this option in VMware Workstation Professional for Windows as well.

Best,

Greg
