Solved VMWare Workstation 16 (almost) working


For me VMWare Workstation Pro 16 worked fine under Windows 10 while Hyper-V was enabled, performance was decent. In fact it's also working under Windows 11 with the only exception that I cannot suspend the guest OS (trying to do so results in a crash of the guest OS).

I can now confirm that Hyper-V is definitely the culprit. As soon as I start Windows without Hyper-V support suspending the guest OS works again as expected. For the time being I configured my PC to dualboot Windows with and without Hyper-V support.

With the latest update to version 16.2.2 the issue has been fixed, now VM Workstation 16 is again fully compatible to Hyper-V. Or at least that's the case on my PC running Windows 11.
