MSFT has bugs in APIC virtualization that block WinXP SP2 boot process.
A Windows XP 圆4 virtual machine freezes during boot, when Workstation is running on Win10 host with Hyper-V Enabled. This setting has always worked until Workstation Pro 15.5 was released, however with the 15.5.5 release the status of the process stays at Normal. After priority.ungrabbed = "low" is set in the virtual machine configuration file, the priority of vmware-vmx process shows as Normal, when checked on the Host Task manager. For more information, see VMSA-2020-0020. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project () has assigned the identifier CVE-2020-3990 to this issue. Workstation addresses an information disclosure vulnerability due to an integer overflow issue in Cortado Thinprint component. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project () has assigned the identifier CVE-2020-3989 to this issue. Workstation addresses a denial of service vulnerability due to an out-of-bounds write issue in Cortado Thinprint component. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project () has assigned the identifiers CVE-2020-3986, CVE-2020-3987, and CVE-2020-3988 to these issues. Workstation addresses multiple out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities in Cortado Thinprint component. This release of VMware Workstation addresses the following issues: Restricted virtual machine has reached end of life and been removed from VMware Workstation 16 Player. Improved virtual NVMe storage performance.Īccessibility improvements have been added so Workstation Player is compliant with WCAG 2.1 criteria. Improved virtual machine shutdown time. Improved file transfer speeds (Drag and Drop, Copy and Paste). Download a remote virtual machine running on vSphere 7.0 to the local desktop. Upload a local virtual machine to vSphere 7.0. In Workstation 16 you can perform the following: Note: Requires host operating systems to be Windor higher Workstation 16 Player supports Dark Mode for optimized user experience. Note: Running virtual machines with 32 vCPUs requires that your host and guest operating systems both support 32 logical processors. The virtual machines virtual XHCI controller is changed from USB 3.0 to USB 3.1 to support 10 Gbps. Virtual machine security is enhanced by removing graphics render from vmx and running it as a separate sandbox process. Note: Linux host operating system with a recent Intel/Vulkan driver is needed, Mesa 20.1 or later is recommended. Workstation 16 Player enables 3D support for Intel GPUs on Linux hosts to deliver DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.3 to VMs using Vulkan Renderer. Vulkan Render Support for Linux Workstation Player. GNU/Linux with NVIDIA drivers that support OpenGL 4.5 and above. For Linux hosts, latest NVIDIA proprietary drivers are required. For Windows hosts, a native GPU that supports DirectX 11.0 is required.
Support for DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.1 in the Guest. Supports KIND kubernetes clusters running on top of Workstation Player.
Build/run/pull/push container images using the vctl CLI.The following systems are also supported: Systems using Intel processors based on the 2010 Westmere micro-architecture. For example, code-named Hondo, Ontario, Zacate, and Llano. Systems using AMD processors based on the Llano and Bobcat micro-architectures.Systems using Intel Atom processors based on the 2012 Saltwell micro-architecture.
For example, Atom Z670/Z650 and Atom N570. Intel Atom processors based on the 2011 Bonnell micro-architecture.Systems using Processors (CPUs) launched in 2011 or later are supported, except for the following: VMware Workstation Player provides a simple user interface, unmatched operating system support, and portability across the VMware ecosystem.įor more information, see the broader VMware Workstation Player documentation. VMware Workstation Player™ is a streamlined desktop virtualization application that runs another operating system on the same computer without rebooting.
