    Check the power management settings inside Windows.

    Hi

    According to the screenshot, your VM's configurtion is OK and If you think that the cause of the problem is not related to OS itself, you can check the vmware.log file for more information.

    You can also check your OS power plans to be sure that the cause of the problem is not some misconfiguration of that section.

    Check if your OS is licensed. It seems Guest OS evolution period is over and license service is shutting down the VM. Check in event log source : WLMS
