That is unfortunate. I am unfamiliar with the bundle feature, I simply used the Help/Support/Collect Support Data feature and attached the resulting file. Perhaps I need to perform the bundle generation right after the issue, I do not understand the feature, or there is no logging for these types of events. I am likely to run into this issue again, I've taken a backup and am doing the same activities today. Is there some special way I need to use the Collect Support Data feature?

This happened once before in an earlier version of 16, and I attributed it to some fluke. I'm running a test against our product, I have a snapshot right before a reproducible error case and was returning to a snapshot to run permutations on that test. But after 4 or 5 reverts to the pre-test snapshot, Workstation has lost the last disk update and the VM won't start anymore. Event 1: Lost another snapshot file leaving the VM and snapshots useless. Event 2: I've also had the .vmx file go missing, there might be a file handling bug in 16. Event 3: This one. I'm running: Windows 10 Pro (21H1 / Build 19043.1586) VMWare Workstation Pro: 16.2.3 build-19376536 No mentions of AV noticing VMWare or disk activity (BitDefender). SSD is a barely used SATA Micron 5100

Maybe a Windows update fixed it for Intel? There are multiple complaints in this thread using Intel processors as well. If anyone had an issue but now doesn't let us know.

Above I state I have issues with my AMD 5800X and Windows 11 (both upgraded from Windows 10 and fresh Windows 11 installs). But Windows 10 on the same machine works fine. I have Hyper-V enabled, WSL, Core Isolation/Memory Integrity, etc. all working fine on Windows 10. I forgot what I did for Windows 10 to allow both VMware and Hyper-V. Did we need to do anything, or was it automatic by VMWare Workstation installation?

I noticed VM file corruption and loss after several attempts at starting a VM with multiple vCPUs. If you have backups I would pick one to revert to and see if the backup runs fine. I had one that wouldn't start anymore, and one that would start, but keeps asking me to locate a file that is present and hasn't moved.

I noticed what seemed like VM file corruption, but that could be due to Workstation itself crashing on some attempts. VMware would request the location of the VMDK every time after a few attempts to launch a Windows VM.

In Workstation 16.2.0, have you tried changing the Hardware Compatibility version from 16 to Beta? Did that fix anything?

I'm using VMWare workstation 10 on Windows 8 Enterprise edition for work. I am running an Ubuntu 12.04LTS VM and had just enabled the USB 3 on the VM's USB controller in the VM settings. I had forgotten that USB 3 was supported in WS 10 with Windows 8 and was very excited to try it out since I have to copy very large files for my project. When I connected my USB 3.0 drive (works fine in Win it is not detected. I figured perhaps it would help to reboot, so I shut down my VM and rebooted the host. When I restarted my machine the USB 3.0 portable hard drive was no longer visible AND my USB mouse and keyboard wouldn't work (USB 3 hub to USB 3 port). I though maybe my USB 3 ports failed, as plugging things into the USB 2.0 ports worked fine. I was contemplating sending my machine into IT, but decided that the only change so far had been enabling USB 3 on the Ubuntu VM. So, again, I set the USB controller for the VM back to USB 2.0 and rebooted. On reboot my USB 3.0 ports were working again! I had upgraded from WS9 to WS10, but I believe your upgrade process uninstalls the old version before installing the new version. Laptop is HP with i7 CPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD. Windows USB 3.0 drivers (Renesas USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 0096 (Microsoft)). Anyway, that's a bug, can you guys fix it? - SeanO
