I got 17.0.1 (while I was still on Windows 10 Pro), but reverted to 16.(latest) when the Chess Titans program in my Win 7 VM crashed VMware altogether. Not my most important programme, I know, but this told me that WS 17 was not yet ready for prime time.
Then I upgraded (just over a week ago) to Windows 11 Pro. After sorting out some initial device driver issues, everything was running smoothly. Everything, that is, apart from my VMs, which not so much ran, but walked. With a limp.
Playing around with numerous settings, and scanning the web for solution, the ONE trick that DID appear to work, was disabling the Core Isolation's "Memory Integrity" setting. Switched off, and following a restart, my VMs were very much back up to speed.
The obvious question is, am I happy to leave this security feature in Windows 11 Pro disabled, just so my VMs run at full speed? Tricky one, but then again I've survived the past several years running Windows 10 (and before that, WInodws 7), without this particular protection.
I just wonder how to stop the warning exclamation mark on the task bar tray if I do decide to turn this feature off permanently ...
