Thanks for your response --- So to answer your questions.... 1) exact version of Windows used (type: winver from a command line and list the version, windows home/windows professional and language) Windows Enterprise 10 Version 1809 (OS Build 17763.1577) 2) "when manipulating files/attribute".. please provide steps and what to expect? Eg. change 10x hidden attribute and boom, or change 40x ... Usually happens within the 1st 2-3 file copies, file renames or if I am editing a file for some period of time (it does var) 3) what kind of files? Does it matter? .ico/.txt/... Nope - doesn't matter 4) how are you manipulating those files.. I take it that you are using Windows explorer, but are you going via the mapped drive or via "\\vmware-host\Shared Folders" Usually a mapped drive, but could happen to either. 4a) are the files you manipulate in a subfolder? 1 level deep, multiple levels deep.. usually multiple levels deep 5) what kind of antivirus/antimalware product are you using in your Windows 10? Symantec But could be other other management spyware (Tanium, CrowdStrike Falcon) -- Who knows?? 6) are you using an antivirus/antimalware product on your host? Yes Also one thing to try is to see if it still happens after you run Microsoft's System File Checker tool: Thanks - I have tried this before, but will try again. This all started happening when I moved my VM from my 2017 MB Pro to the 2019 MB Pro. I let Fusion update the VM to be compatible with 11.5 Fusion on the new machine. Hate to do it, but may have to build a new VM and see if it happens again. Just can't figure out if it is an underlying VMware Fusion Issue or a Windows issue. Wish I had more.
