    Hello Community,

    i am experiencing a very strange issue with one of the VM's .

    a VM with  Windows 10 64-bit  RDP is crashing on daily basis. can't connect to RDP and  eather VMRC.  Nothing in Windows 10  Events logs that could lead me to the clue. the onlything i am noticing is vmware tools stops running. Resets brings it back to life.

    migrated to a different host , same thing.

    VMware ESXi, 6.7.0, 14320388

    Guest OS:  Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)   

    Compatibility:  ESXi 6.5 and later (VM version 13)  
    VMware Tools:  Running, version:10279

    any idas where to look for the clue or what could cause such a disaster?

    thx in advance

    Hi,

    updates the VMware tools to version 11.1.0

    VMware Product Interoperability Matrices

    and change "Compatibility:  ESXi 6.5 and later (VM version 13)"

    with the version of 6.7 U3 (VM version 15)

    ARomeo

    What's the Windows Power Management set to?

    Does changing it to 'High Performance' make any difference?

    updated all

    Guest OS:  Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)     

    Compatibility:  ESXi 6.7 and later (VM version 14)   

    VMware Tools:  Running, version:10346 (Current)

    it didn't help (

    crashed again this morning.

    when i tried to login to Windows using VMRC i got this message "Set virtual machine display topology the operation is not supported on the object."

    the VMRC oppened but it freezes , the reset did the trick

    any clues?

    This is interesting. I got the same issue and so far the only helpfull solution was your sugestion to uninstall the vmWare tools. Have you found another solution yet?
