I have a Win10 Pro Host running VMware Workstation Pro 15 with a Win10 Pro guest that randomly and intermittently becomes unresponsive. If I have an application running when this happens, I can still use/interact with it, but anything outside of that application doesn't work: no mouse/keyboard input so I can't switch between apps or close apps, etc.
The host operates fine while this is happening and this happens with other VMs as well (Also Win10).
Below is a screenshot I was able to get of the Microsoft error message when this happens.
Here is a snippet of the log when the issue is happening:
