Hi, I am using VMware Workstation Pro in two different computers. One computer’s specification is i5 8th Gen with 12GB RAM & SSD. Another computer’s specification is i5 11 Gen with 16GB RAM & SSD. Both are Windows 11. I created one VM in both computers. VM settings are memory 8GB, processor 4 core and HD 64 GB. However, in both computers, the memory usages are very high up to 85-90%. Please let me know, what I need to check and how to resolve it? With Regards GnVm

Hi, I installed Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2019 & Windows Server 2022 as a Guest OS on VMware Workstation Pro (16.2.4). Without upgrading or updating, all are working fine as a Guest OS. After installing updates, the error messages are like Please let me know, what can be issue and how to resolve it? With Regards GnVm

Hi, I installed Windows 10 and Windows 11 as a Guest OS on VMware Workstation Pro. Both are working fine as a Guest OS. When I am trying to upgrade/ update both (Windows 10 and Windows 11) to 22H2, after restart, I see Blue Screen and Automatic Repair. Both returned back to previous version. Please let me know, what can be issue and how to resolve it? With Regards GnVm

Hi, In the BIOS, I have seen Intel (R) Virtualization Technology and Intel (R) VT-d Feature. Both are by default enabled I use virtualization in the laptop using VMware Workstation Pro but I am not sure about both. Please let me know, how both are different? If I disable, Intel (R) VT-d Feature, what can be issue? And if I disable Intel (R) Virtualization Technology, what can be issue? With Regards GnVm

Hi, I tried to create a VM with UEFI by both ways; only selecting UEFI and UEFI with secure boot.                             In both ways, I face issue as below.. I am stuck at this step.           Please let me know, what I need to do so that I can create a VM with UEFI. With Regards GnVm

Hi, By default, Disable side channel mitigations for Hyper-V enabled hosts is unchecked. Host is Windows 11. I didn’t enable Hyper-V manually. However, I checked by these ways, Win+R (as Administrator) > systeminfo Checked Windows features. In the list, Hyper-V is not showing. Win+R (as Administrator) > services.msc In all ways, I didn’t find, Hyper-V is enabled. However, I see message whenever I turn on a VM. Please let me know its cause.                  I found the link https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/79832 and read the reason. I don’t think anything done as per explanation in the link. Please let me know, how to figure-out its cause. With Regards GnVM

Hi, Host OS is Windows 10 with 12GB RAM & i5-8250U. I created two VMs; Windows 10 and Windows 11. For both VMs, memory is 4GB, cores is 4 and HD is 100GB. Whenever I use either of both VMs (one VM at a time), memory usages of host OS go beyond 80%. I increased memory of both VMs to 8GB and used both Windows VMs one by one, memory usages of host OS go beyond 85-90%. Whenever I use either of Windows VMs, I don’t use any applications on host OS. However, the memory utilization is very high. Because of continuous high usages of memory utilization of host OS, I am afraid of hardware issue in RAM. Please let me know, how to manage both VMs and memory utilization? With Regards NndnG

Hi, It was required to expand NVMe size in Workstation. That's why I expanded. Now it is not needed. That's why I used Compact but it didn't work for which I did it. Pls let me know, can I shrink it? If yes, how to shrink it? With Regards GnVm

Hi, I just downloaded Hyper-V Server 2019 from the link https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-hyper-v-server-2019. Downloaded file is an iso file. As it is an iso file and I read some articles, Hyper-V Server 2019 can be installed in bare-metal. As of now, I don’t have bare-meter machine. Please let me know, can I install it as a Guest OS in VMware Workstation? If yes, how can I install it as a Guest OS. With Regards GnVm

Hi, I have seen multiple times. During Windows Server installation on bare-metal machine or VirtualBox or Azure, by default Administrator account is the user account. It doesn’t ask to create another user account. Before installing Windows Server in VMware Workstation, it asks for a user account which becomes local-administrator account after installation. So there are two user accounts including built-in administrator. Can this issue be resolved? If yes, please let me know, how? With Regards GnVm

Hi, I am running VMware Workstation 15.5 on Windows 10 Computer. Windows 10 computer specification is  i5-8250U, 12GB RAM and 1TB HD.

Hi, I installed Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 on VMware Workstation. The Network connection of both are LAN Segment and because of LAN Segment, Internet is not working in both VMs. Domain Controller and DHCP configured successfully on Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 is a DHCP Client. Now I have to setup same lab with Internet access. That’s why I installed another Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10. Be it NAT or Bridged Network Connection, can I setup and configured Domain Controller and DHCP? I accessed router using 192.168.0.1 and I found. DHCP is enabled at the router and IP range defined is 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.110. What should be the IP range so that I can assign it manually for domain controller? Initially I assigned 192.168.0.111 with default gateway 192.168.0.120 and primary DNS 192.168.0.1 and secondary DNS 8.8.8.8 but no Internet access. I hope I explained my question well. Regards GnVm

Hi, When I turn on a VM, I see in the VM > Removable Devices Qualcomm Bluetooth and IMC Integrated Camera I don’t want both in the VM, can I remove both? Please let me know, how to remove it? Do I need to uninstall driver of both from the VM or are there any other way also? Regards GnVm

Hi, The default DHCP Settings in my TP-Link Router as DHCP Server: Enable Start IP Address: 192.168.0.100 End IP Address: 192.168.0.199 Lease Time: 120 minutes (1~2880 minutes, the default value is 120) Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1 (optional) Default Domain: (optional) DNS Server: 0.0.0.0 (optional) Secondary DNS Server: 0.0.0.0 (optional) I have max 5 devices connected with internet access so if I change it as Start IP Address: 192.168.0.100 End IP Address: 192.168.0.105 I believe there will not be any issue. As Guest OS, I created Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 in VMware Workstation. Currently network connection type of both is NAT. I have to assign static IP in Windows Server 2016 so that it can be promoted as a Domain Controller. I have to configure DHCP in Windows Server 2016 so that Windows 10 can get IP from Windows Server 2016. Moreover, there should internet access in all Guest OS. If I assign Static IP between 192.168.0.106 and 192.168.0.199, pick IPs between 192.168.0.106 and 192.168.0.199 for DHCP range for Windows Server 2016 and default gateway as 192.168.0.1 in all Guest OS, will that be fine without any issue? Pls advise me. Regards EinfoMail
