VMware Workstation Pro 17.6 is out with Windows 11 23H2, Server 2025 support and more


VMware Pro latest version 17.6.0 Build 24238078 detected Windows 11 24H2 as Windows Server 2025 & and failed to install repeatedly.

Anyone experienced this same?
Yeah, but that is just for the Easy Install. Choose the option that says that you will install an OS later and go through the manual installation. You will lose the ability to have VMware do the installation entirely automatically, so the installation experience will now be the same as installing on bare metal where you need to follow the Windows installation wizard.

well, while that works, but in this new version, every time I start the VM, it hangs completely
I reinstalled it twice but nothing works

I guess this release is buggy, I will stick to the older/earlier v17.5.2 Build 23775571
