Stupid question #1 : do you have any AV utility scanning the file system where the VMs are located (if you do, stop it!)
No
And Stupid question #2: are the VMs stored in a folder that's under control of a cloud file sync utility - for example OneDrive, DropBox or iCloud Drive. If so, move it elsewhere.
No
And stupid question #3: How are you shutting down your Windows VM?
When I checked VMware Fusion Preferences, the default option for "When closing a virtual machine" was "Suspend". I changed this setting to "Shut Down" and hope that will help.
Whenever I launch the VMware Fusion application, up to 5 PLIST files are copied to /Library/LaunchDaemons but they all disappear upon restarting. I tried to make each of these "Read Only" ("Locked") but they were still removed and then restored when reopening the application. Perhaps the fact that I'm currently running VMware Fusion in macOS Ventura Beta 6 has something to do with this irregularity.
Another mistake I might have made was replacing the virtual machine with a backup file whenever I ran into problems with the Windows 11 x64 ARM system I was currently using, which sometimes resulted in a prompt to enter my TPM password when starting the VM.
I tried adding a custom display resolution of 1512x982 using the CRU V1.5.1 utility but without success. Still haven't found a solution so I'm running the Windows 11 VM when connected to my external display as much as possible.
So far the Windows 11 VM I installed yesterday is holding up and I'll let you know if anything happens.
Thanks for your help!
