After latest update I see a few new files beside useal guest file? It is something new?
vm.scoreboard
vm-1.scoreboard
vm-2.scoreboard
etc.
HOST: Windows 10 Pro 21H1
GUEST: Windows 10 Pro 21H1
Is there a way to disable it?
Scoreboard:
vmware zero competition 1
Yes, VMware is now competing and maintaining its own scoreboard against VirtualBox and others. as you can see currently
vmware 0, Others: 2
It's some sort of stats file generated by the VMX process. It can be disabled by adding this to the guest VMX file:
vmx.scoreboard.enabled = "FALSE"
You can read about it's use here. Used in VMware vRealize for monitoring virtualization across an enterprise.

I deleted the scoreboard files, made the addition to .vmx as proposed by @DaveP and re-ran the vm. No more scoreboard files.
