With "windows update" Win 10 started installing the 1709 from 1703 installed and it is doing it one by one in the loop reporting the installation error in the update history. It started in fusion 8.5.9 and after the upgrade to fusion 10.0.1 the problem is exactly the same...

Graphics Drivers — Supported Graphics APIs and Features now I know Why Intel HD3000 is NOT supported (MBP 13" 2011) It supports DX10, but ONLY OpenGL3.1 not 3.3 DirectX* OpenGL* OpenCL* Shader Model Support Intel® Quick Sync Video Intel® Wireless Display Intel® Insider™ technology Intel® InTru™ 3D Technology Intel® Clear Video HD Technology 10.1 3.1 No 4.1 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

You have to change the hardware version to 12 (settings, compatibility, advanced options). If you still don't have it, you may have the older GPU. For Intel integrated GPU it shouldn't be older than HD4000  (2012?). http://pubs.vmware.com/fusion-8/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/fusion-8-user-guide.pdf "3D accelerated video with DirectX 10 with OpenGL 3.3 for Windows Vista and later as the guest OS. DirectX 10 requires OSX 10.10 or later on the host and hardware version 12 and later. DirectX 10 also requires a GPU version of Intel HD4000 or later, Nvidia GeForce 650M or later, or AMD Radeon HD 5750 or later." I have Intel HD 3000 on other mac which supports DX 10 but is NOT supported by Fusion 8

Hi, I tried to us dbpowermap tool to do batch convert of audio files with windows guest parition using shared  MAC folders as a source and destination for the conversion. Application cound't read the shared mac folder even I could access it manualy from windows

BTW, when I swich to external monitor from Retina to 1600x1200 pix resolution and swiched off the "use full retina resolution" and "scalling" options in Fusion, geekbench showed me for 4 cores setting, muli-core score>10 000 in comparison to 8700 points for retina screen. Scalling kills performance!

I changed allocated for Windows 7 4 cores to 2 cores out of 8. Windows perfromance index didn't change at all for all scores/positions!, even for CPU, still 7.5, so index is a crap or ....who knows... I have installed geekbench 3 on VMWARE Win7. Total benchmark scores: for 2 virtual cores allocated I have: Single-core    3059 Multi-core      5675 for 4 virtual cores: Single-core    2947 Multi-core      8701 so Windows CPU index shows only single core values to my eyes. Look and feel tells me that multi-core is important and you can feel it in application, even a basic one like browser, but sunspider shows rather minimal difference on the same browser Sunspider 1.0.2 2 cores: ============================================ RESULTS (means and 95% confidence intervals) -------------------------------------------- Total:                 178.2ms +/- 2.2% 4 cores: ============================================ RESULTS (means and 95% confidence intervals) -------------------------------------------- Total:                 163.9ms +/- 1.3% BTW, for 2 cores, on hardware version 10 I get: Geekbech 3: single core: 2968 Multi-core: 5187

I did it. I moved from Fusion 6 to Fusion 7 on Mavericks on 15" rMBP on Haswell (2.5GHz). I checked several settings for graphics,hardware 10 and 11 and I can confirm that AERO and 3d benchmarks in WIN 7 are LOWER for fusion 7 than Fusion 6. For Fusion 6 I had 6.0 and 6.0 and for Fusion 7 I have 5.9 and 5.7 scores. For Yosemite it is even lower. I didn't see any promised improvements in CPU performance as I get score 7.5 for 4 virtual cores allocated out of 8 available, the same as for Fusion 6.

"However MackieP, your index seems low, I have a late 2013 MPBr15 quand core with 8Go and no nVidia, and I have 5.9 Aero / 5.6 Gaming indexes on a W7 SP1 x64 VM." so 5.9 and 5.6 vs 6.0. What is funny, my older MBP 2011 with integrated intel graphics has the same 6.0 graphics index as my MBP 2014 with NVIDIA VMWARE slows it down
