  • 1.  VMWare Workstation 17 Pro Autostart Service is not working

    Posted Nov 26, 2022 04:45 AM

    Greetings,

     

    I am having issues getting the list of VMs showing on the new feature for AutoStart on VMWare Workstation 17 Pro.

     

    I made sure I followed the steps in the KB # 

    https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Pro/17/com.vmware.ws.using.doc/GUID-44497201-A4AC-4867-BEE7-1BDC7641E66C.html

     

    The user is local and it's admin

    Gave a full a control over the VMs vmx files + vmautostart.xml file

     

    Service is running from services.

    Any idea what could be the issue here?

     

    Thanks

    Hello There!

    I managed to find a solution for this problem:

    1. Remove your existing vm's from the library, but don't delete the files.
    2. In the next step open them again.
    3. After this your vm's should appear in the "Configure VM power actions" panel.

    It worked for me. I hope it will help others.

    Hello,

    It did not work for me.

    Out of the 21 vms only 3 showed up.

    :(
