Bug Report about VMWare Tools 12.01

I found a problem that Resource Monitor(resmon.exe) in Client system shows nothing after installing Internet Explorer 11(by Windows Update), VMWare tools, and setting a high DPI zoom(125%).

VM system was Installed from MSDN ISO image file, not Activated, not changed any system options. Only installed IE11, VMTools, DPI 125%, and then got the bug.

I have tested it several times, and confirmed the problem.

Environment:

  VMWare Workstation/Tools Version: 12.01

  Host System: Windows 10 x64 Enterprise Build 10586 (zh-cn)

  Client System: Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 SP1 (zh-cn)

我发现客户机中安装了IE11、VMWare Tools、并且设置了高DPI缩放之后,资源监视器显示空白。

客户机系统是通过MSDN的原版ISO安装的,未改动过任何设置,只要同时安装了IE11、VMTools,并设置了文本缩放,问题就会重现。这三个条件缺一不可。

我已经过数次测试,确认该问题的存在。

运行环境:

     VMWare Workstation/Tools 版本:12.01

     主机:Windows 10 x64 Enterprise Build 10586 简体中文版

     客户机:Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 SP1 简体中文版

我卸载了VMtools之后,这个问题还是存在。而且host上没有任何VMware产品安装的情况下也存在这个问题,所以这应该不是workstation引起的问题。

常感谢你提出的这个问题,谢谢!

Welcome to Workstation community!

I have tried the same scenario in Windows server 2008 R2 SP1 64bit host, the issue occurred on the host.

So, it is the bug for Microsoft not Workstation.

Thanks!

thank you.

however, the issue didn't occured without vmtools. but recured after installing vmtools in the client.

so, it seems that the issue was caused by vmtools.

are you sure it is the bug for windows not workstation?

Thanks.

既然是Microsoft的问题,那就不纠结于此了。
