Just trying to install Win 10 Pro on Mac Pro 2019 (7.1) via VMware Fusion 11.5.1 Trial Version. After connect of an external USB drive (SATA SSD with SATA-USB-C adapter) via USB/TB back connector the MacPro 2019 shuts down. Fans at max after restart. After SMC reset ok again. But another shutdown after 2nd trial to connect USB drive via top USB/TB connector. USB drive works normal in MacOS.
Any idea what to do or isn't VMware optimized for Mac Pro 7.1 yet? Even in this case a shut down should not occur
Ouch, well that's not good.
We're waiting on our orders to get delivered, so I haven't had the chance yet to try myself.
Does it persist with any USB device, or just that particular one?
The issue occurred with a drive which worked well under macOS before.
Finally I completely uninstalled (incl. kext) and reinstalled VMWare Fusion. So far no shut down.
Thanks for the follow up.
Did you migrate another Mac, or did you originally install Fusion from a fresh download?
