@CarltonR, thank you. As I mentioned in the description, the Reinstall VMware Tools... option is greyed out. Also, I can't connect CD/DVD (SATA) to the system because of the issue mentioned above. The only way to attach the CD/DVD (SATA) device to the VM is by selecting an ISO. But where can I find the ISO of VMware Tools for Ubuntu? I can find it only for Windows here: https://customerconnect.vmware.com/downloads/details?downloadGroup=VMTOOLS1135&productId=742 As far as I understand, there should be a virtual physical device attached for the sake of VMware Tools, but attaching this device causes the issue mentioned in the description. It's also unusual that I can't change the device settings because it's also greyed out. I presume that "something" happened when I was trying to open the OneDrive folder / killed the VM, and it caused a file corruption or something like this, which prevents me from using the shared folder functionality. My idea is reinstalling the VMware tools, but I'm still concerned whether it will help at all. This issue must be related to the VM (not the host) because my other VM (Windows 11) works without any issue: I can switch from the ISO to the physical drive.   Herer are the mounted devices, VMware Tools is not on this list. sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=8151952k,nr_inodes=2037988,mode=755,inode64) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000) tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=1635460k,mode=755,inode64) /dev/sda3 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,inode64) tmpfs on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=5120k,inode64) cgroup2 on /sys/fs/cgroup type cgroup2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot) pstore on /sys/fs/pstore type pstore (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) none on /sys/fs/bpf type bpf (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,mode=700) systemd-1 on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=29,pgrp=1,timeout=0,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct,pipe_ino=26361) hugetlbfs on /dev/hugepages type hugetlbfs (rw,relatime,pagesize=2M) mqueue on /dev/mqueue type mqueue (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) tracefs on /sys/kernel/tracing type tracefs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) configfs on /sys/kernel/config type configfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) vmware-vmblock on /run/vmblock-fuse type fuse.vmware-vmblock (rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other) /var/lib/snapd/snaps/bare_5.snap on /snap/bare/5 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,x-gdu.hide) /var/lib/snapd/snaps/code_84.snap on /snap/code/84 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,x-gdu.hide) /var/lib/snapd/snaps/core_11993.snap on /snap/core/11993 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,x-gdu.hide) /var/lib/snapd/snaps/core20_1169.snap on /snap/core20/1169 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,x-gdu.hide) /var/lib/snapd/snaps/core_11743.snap on /snap/core/11743 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,x-gdu.hide) /var/lib/snapd/snaps/firefox_767.snap on /snap/firefox/767 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,x-gdu.hide) /var/lib/snapd/snaps/snap-store_558.snap on /snap/snap-store/558 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,x-gdu.hide) /var/lib/snapd/snaps/code_85.snap on /snap/code/85 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,x-gdu.hide) /var/lib/snapd/snaps/snap-store_557.snap on /snap/snap-store/557 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,x-gdu.hide) /var/lib/snapd/snaps/zoom-client_165.snap on /snap/zoom-client/165 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,x-gdu.hide) /var/lib/snapd/snaps/core18_2253.snap on /snap/core18/2253 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,x-gdu.hide) /var/lib/snapd/snaps/gnome-3-38-2004_87.snap on /snap/gnome-3-38-2004/87 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,x-gdu.hide) /var/lib/snapd/snaps/gnome-3-38-2004_76.snap on /snap/gnome-3-38-2004/76 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,x-gdu.hide) /var/lib/snapd/snaps/core20_1270.snap on /snap/core20/1270 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,x-gdu.hide) /var/lib/snapd/snaps/firefox_747.snap on /snap/firefox/747 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,x-gdu.hide) /var/lib/snapd/snaps/slack_49.snap on /snap/slack/49 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,x-gdu.hide) /var/lib/snapd/snaps/gtk-common-themes_1519.snap on /snap/gtk-common-themes/1519 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,x-gdu.hide) /dev/sda2 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro) tmpfs on /run/user/1000 type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,size=1635456k,nr_inodes=408864,mode=700,uid=1000,gid=1000,inode64) gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/1000/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000) portal on /run/user/1000/doc type fuse.portal (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000) tmpfs on /run/snapd/ns type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=1635460k,mode=755,inode64) nsfs on /run/snapd/ns/snap-store.mnt type nsfs (rw)

@wila, unfortunately, the shared folder doesn't work anymore, even not with disabling/enabling it on the running machine. Is there any way to purge the VmWare Tools from the guest and install it from binary (I couldn't even find the binary installer for Ubuntu)?
