For anyone else running into this issue. Mine turned out because I run KDE desktop and when it updated it, KDE changed how systemd auto runs stuff. You can fix it by running the command `vmware-user-suid-wrapper` After running that command everything started working for me again.

As of about a week ago, I lost full ability to copy and paste between my windows 11 host to my Linux Debian (Kali) host. I have removed open-vm-tools-desktop and purged, and reinstalled it several times. I have disabled in the VM settings rebooted and brought it back up and re-enabled it. Nothing I have seen in other forums has been able to fix it. Does anyone have any additional options? I lost it pretty much after a Windows 11 update.

I am on a Discord that brought up a AV thing also. I just use Windows Defender, and they suggested adding my VM folder to an exemption. So I added that and will see. I also know it's bad practice. I snapshotted my VM before I took a test. But yeah the snapshot has no issues as I have restored it twice now. I did it the wrong way as I should have cloned my current image then restored and tried to pull information from what is remaining. But yeah I lost a couple of years' worth of stuff, luckily nothing too important just scripts and files documentation for stuff like Hack the Box.  But, I will see how the exemption goes and see if it still happens. As, two people have mentioned it though, I feel better that it isn't actually VMWare.

As the title says, my Workstation keeps deleting vmdk files. Last week it was number 6 and today it deleted number 17. My last snapshot was in 2019 as I never had any issues. So I lost a lot of data, which is my fault. But now its happened twice in two weeks. The first time I tried to copy the one from my prior backup, and rename it to the current iteration but it failed to boot. Luckily this time doing that allowed it to boot, and I have no clue what information I lost yet. I don't know what is doing it, or why. But it keeps happening.

I am having some major issues with Workstation 16 Pro and my network on guest machines.  The problem: Loss of internet kinda when running heavy packet loads like nmap on guest machines when in NAT. This affects all guests even when one guest is running nmap they all lose connection. What I have tried to fix the problem: I went to Virtual Network Editor as an admin and restored all to default: didn't work Went into the installation prompt and did a repair (this uninstalled all network interfaces and reinstalled them): didn't work Went through and fully uninstalled workstation pro, rebooted, installed workstation pro, rebooted, ran workstation pro and updated, rebooted: didn't work Any help would be beneficial. This only happens on one of my machines (laptop) my desktop does not have the same issues.
