Re: VMWare Workstation 14 (vmware-vmx.exe) high CPU and VM unresponsive

I also experienced this issue, but waited a bit longer ... .

 

My version of VMware Workstation Pro is 15.0.0 build-10134415.

 

I found that the UI (vmware.exe) hung just after switching between tabs of my guests.

 

After a few forced shutdowns I decided to watch what was going on using

Process Explorer (procmon.exe).

 

The results showed that the UI was performing a directory scan of a new volume

that I had just mounted.  This volume had 1,457,045 items occupying 2.29 TB

of space (you read that right).

 

After 8 or so hours the UI became responsive once more.

 

Hint to VMware developers and testers: check the scalability of your application

before shipping.

 

If you must perform a directory scan like this, try to move the callbacks onto

a thread other than the one(s) running a message loop.

 

Try looking at code around umi::dnd::CopyPaste::UpdateRemoteClipboard,

it may have something to do with this UI freeze.
