Windows Server 2012 R2 Black Screen After Login

VMware Workstation 12 Pro v12.1.1 build-3770994

New VM creation with Windows Server 2012 R2 w/SP1

The new vm boots, as expected, the first time. Upon next reboot and/or shutdown/restart, the vm goes to all black screen after entering credentials.

This does not happen on another rig with VMware Workstation 11 installed.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Thanks for the posting!

Did this issue happen on one monitor or multi-monitor? And have you installed bundled vmware tool and then reboot system to login?
