Due to my remote work requirements, I set nothing to sleep. The Hypervisor may indeed be part of it - since installing a hypervisor from another party, my VMWare VMs seem to be a lot better behaved. Not quite sure why!

Not sure it helps anyone, but I imported one of the troublesome VMs into an alternative system with its own hypervisor, and it has been rock solid. I really wish VMWare had a way to determine what is failing. This isn't a normal thing for an 18 core, 128GB iMac Pro I hope. But given it is only me that is having this issue, it may be some oddity in what I'm doing in my client VMs. Thanks all.

Not sure I know how to quote here. My Mac is always left fully powered, so sleep is not an issue. I have one VM that runs happily for months at a time. The one factor I haven't mentioned is the use of Docker - this is a key requirement for my Windows 10 applications, though I'm not sure how that would trigger the errors that are occurring. Hmmm.

I copied one of the troublesome VMs to my Windows Server with VMWare Professional. It has been good for a few hours so far. I'll leave it overnight, and if that's solid, I may ponder how Fusion is the cause of this.

Thanks - good suggestions - my Mac Mini was core starved, but the iMac Pro has 18 cores and the VM use 4 (I've tried 6 before). Plenty of RAM too with 128GB, and disk space too. This is a VM client issue, with applications failing for no good reason. Visual Studio hangs, browsers will just close, file managers error. There is something not right. The host Mac is fine though, as are some of the older VMs. I ponder a removal and reinstall of VMWare, but is that really going to be better?

Is it just me, or is Windows 10 really unreliable on Fusion now? I develop software using Visual Studio, and it crashes a log with hangs, and other software also just exits and fails. It has been getting worse recently and I can't pin it on any particular thing. I created a new VM from the Windows installer a month ago, and it is now hard to use for more than an hour without it needing a power cycle. I'm running on an Intel iMac Pro with lots of memory and disk space so it is not resource limits. But I'm questioning whether I need to switch to something else for my VMs. I have a Windows 7 VM that has worked for years, and it seems to be a lot better and not have problems. I wish I could click a button and make it work reliably... Thanks for any suggestions (none of the usual have worked so far, like GPU changes).
I too have this, and have found that using the View menu to hide the toolbar, and then show the toolbar, tends to have it stick around okay. Not always, but mostly.

Changing the client OS to work around a bug/change in VMWare doesn't really solve it. If I'm testing software and need the normal resolutions, then I can't be changing the client like that. And Windows and its applications are poor at retina resolution. It might work for some, but it isn't a fix. I look forward to it getting back to normal.

Either my eyesight just changed, or the video quality in my Windows VMs got blurry. I am viewing them on a 5k display, with the client OS at 2560 x 1440, without full resolution. Acceleration makes no difference. It seems that something is probably anti-aliasing or something like that, but given I used to like how sharp it was, something has changed. If anyone knows what that might be, I'd welcome getting the nice sharp display back. Thanks.
