  • 1.  Workstation 17.6.2 CPU stuck at 100% no matter what vm is started

    Hello,

    I got an issue since few days. My VMs are hitting 100CPU and the VM is not responding to ssh traffic, barely ping once in a while. No matter what VM I start or which user is starting it, after one minute or two the vmware-vmx.exe process hits all the CPU time he can use.

    I am sure the VM is not responsible because fresh vm or old one, doesnt matter. For example, I tried to install an AlmaLinux system and during the process of installing (first GUI window asking to process the installation) I got stuck and the CPU usage rises. here are some data:

    Dont know what is happening or how I can resolves this. I tried to :
    - reinstall vmware
    - checked the almalinux checkum for any corrupt ISO file data
    - applied all updated available
    - Will try reinstall older version to see if that's the cause

    OS is Windows 10 22H2
    VmWare workstation pro 17.6.2
    Any idea please ?
