  • 1.  Copy and Paste from M4 Mac to Win 11 ARM

    Posted Jun 29, 2025 09:57 AM
    I’m having problems with the Copy and Paste from M4 Mac to Win 11 ARM virtual machine.

    This is what I’ve found online: Is anyone familiar with when this might be functional and is this the only work around?

    Copy and paste functionality between a Mac host and a Windows 11 ARM virtual machine in VMware Fusion is not fully supported. This is due to the current lack of a complete VMware Tools implementation for Windows 11 ARM within Fusion 13. However, there are workarounds, such as using Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) or enabling file sharingbetween the two systems.

    The information you found online that you've posted is outdated and no longer true (mostly). Current shipping versions of Fusion and VMware Tools support copy/paste/drag/drop on Windows ARM VMs. What doesn't still work is folder sharing.

    Can you post more details on what your configuration is and what you're trying that's not working?

    • macOS version
    • Fusion version - you should be running 13.6.3
    • Windows Version and build (from the Windows "winver" utility )
    • VMware Tools version installed in the VM - you should be running the VMware Tools version bundled with Fusion 13.6.3 at a minimum

    Also, zipping up and attaching the log files (found in the VM's bundle folder) will tell us how the VM is configured.

    Hi Paul,

    I'm having the same problem. I was able to use it for a few days, but then it stopped working. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?
