Thank you Paul. The VM was extremely slow while I was trying to setup Windows 11.  I had to delete the Virtual Machine completely as too slow. Even my PC memory went to 100% use and I have 64 GB of memory.  So then VMWare 17 is best moving forward. What would be recommended memory to allocate with VMWare 17 VM using "partial" encryption ?   Thanks again

Hi, May be this relates to the microsoft windows account. When the VMs were setup during Windows 10 setup it asks to provide a Microsoft account if you have one. The same Microsoft account was used during Windows setup. So logging in using a Microsoft account perhaps is making the linking as the account knows about all the Windows 10. That's the only common thing that was done during the setup process of each of the 4 x VMs. May be anyone can comment ?

HI, 1) If I create a file on VM 3  desktop, it gets created on VM 2 andVM 4 desktop also. If I delete the file from VM 2 desktop, it gets deleted on VM 3 and 4. 2) VM 1 desktop is not affected by this at all. Only VM 2, 3 and 4 are synchronizing their desktops.

1) The hostnames were created by VMWare with their own MAC although it's on same PC and hard disk. 2) The directories where each VMs  are installed are in  seperate directories. 3) When I create a text file on VM 2 (say on desktop), it also appears on VM 3 and 4). 4) If I install a program on VM 2 that creates a shortcut on desktop. Only the shortcut gets replicated on VM 3 and 4. It does not replicate the install files from VM 2. 5) If I create a folder on the C:\ drive on VM 2, it does not get replicated on VM 3 and 4. 6) So it appears the Desktop is getting synchronized for VM 2, 3 AND 4. Hope this clarifies the issue at hand.

Hello ThompsG, Thank you for a response. Where do I get the .vmx files. I looked in the directory where I setup the VMs but cannot find .vmx ? VM 1 does not sync with the other 3. Only VM 2 , 3 and 4 are doing this with each other.
