RT, i upgraded the host OS to win10 1903 a few days ago. then i found vmware can't report battery info to guest OS. if the guest os is win98se, the guest OS will hang during boot. if the guest os is winme, it will hang when you open power management -> power meter tab. if the guest os are others eg. 98/2k/xp/vista/7……, it displays the battery level 0%. if you unplug the ac adapter to use battery, the guest os will say the battery is low. i tried vm 14.1.7 & 15.0.4, they are all same.
the screenshot below is winme. in this picture i switched to the power meter tab but the content is still the tab power scheme. it already hung.
this is win98 original not 98se. the battery level is 0%
Hi,
I have the same problem with S.O. Windows 10 1903 and S.O. guest Windows 10 1903, both of the machine have the same S.O. (one real machine, my machine, and virtual).
I have looking for a new version of VmWare Tools but i have the last "VMware-tools-windows-10.3.10-12406962".
I have updated both of my machine (physic and virtual) with the last patches of Microsoft.
I have searched for a new drivers for "battery" in device
Any idea?
Thank you
Thanks for reporting the issue! We have an internal bug to track it.
Hi@All,
i habe the same problem:
Host: Windows 10 1903
Guest: Windows 7 x64
After moving my VM to my New PC that issue begin. Short Workaround is, to disable the Battery-Status to guest. But that is not a far-sighted solution.
The issue is fixed in VMware Workstation 15.5.
