Spoke too soon. For some reason a day later the same old crash behaviour on shutting down a machine. To revert to everyone else does not have a problem and noting when these same machines are local they work fine I figured its probably to do with the format/partiton of the drives. These are NTFS drives and I'm using tuxera. To prove the point I did a complete new installation of nothing but VMWare and tuxera. Sure enough the same issue occurs but with the fresh install I also get some additional error messages that tell me tuxera is not responding. Use a non-NTFS drive and everything is fine. I've lodged the issue with user. In case anyone is interested I tried 2016, 2017 and 2018 versions of Tuxera and they all have exactly the same issue on a 2017 MAC. If I try on a MAC Air it works fine. Guess the MAC hardware and Tuxera are not compatible. Will wait for my support response as Tuxera advertises that its compatible with VMWare. Except for VMWare their is no problem reading and writing to the drive that's NTFS. Just to prove the point I tried paragon and it worked fine on the same MAC. Thanks for the insight and assistance.

Like I keep saying I was running WS14 and had no issues. The only response thats raising WS12 is in your replies fundamentally implying that my statements are incorrect. I'm happy to take a video and post it of WS14 running without any problems and then WS15 running with reported problems if that can convince you that I am not running WS12. Let me know what resolution you want. I've rolled forward and backards between WS14 and 15 a number of times now to confirm that its WS15 that breaks this. As of yesterday, due to the upgrade of to WS15, I've had to spend $250 to get a new video card. I would have rather have known that WS15 would have different hardware requirements and simply not purchased that instead. So, WS15, at least for myself, imposes new hardware limitations for 3D acceleration that has resulted in additional cost. Upgraders be aware that simply because it works under WS14 does not imply that it will work under WS15.
