I have VMware workstation installed on a Linux Mint 20.1 host with current updates installed. I am currently using the evaluation license of VMware workstation to test. I am having issues with VMware freezing. The guest OS (Win Server 2019 Essentials) freezes but so does the VMware GUI. I'm not able to switch tabs or use the menus.
I noticed if I watched the system monitor it seems that VMware freezes and at the same time one or two of the CPU cores is maxed out at 100%.
The guest is configured with 4 CPUs with 2 cores each and 6GB RAM (host has 16GB)
Some basic hw info for host:
:~$ inxi
CPU: Quad Core Intel Core i7-3630QM (-MT MCP-) speed/min/max: 3234/1200/3400 MHz Kernel: 5.4.0-66-generic x86_64
Up: 1h 21m Mem: 2263.6/15898.6 MiB (14.2%) Storage: 596.18 GiB (61.2% used) Procs: 272 Shell: bash 5.0.17
inxi: 3.0.38
I'm not sure where to start looking to troubleshoot. Please advise.
