Broadcom heeft versie 25H2 van zijn virtualisatiesoftware Workstation Pro uitgebracht. Met dit programma is het mogelijk om een of meer virtuele computers aan te maken, waarop een groot aantal verschillende besturingssystemen kan worden geïnstalleerd. Op die manier kunnen ze naast elkaar worden gebruikt, in tegenstelling tot een dualbootopstelling, waarbij voor het ene of het andere OS moet worden gekozen. VMware Workstation is beschikbaar voor Windows en Linux, en sinds het in handen van Broadcom is gekomen is het voor iedereen gratis te gebruiken. Wel is een account nodig om het te kunnen downloaden en na inloggen kunnen de downloads hier worden gevonden. De changelog voor deze uitgave ziet er als volgt uit:
VMware Workstation Pro 25H2 provides the following new capabilities.Resolved Issues

Known Issues
- While using Workstation Pro on Linux, quitting the application results in an unexpected failure with a coredump file. This issue is fixed in this release.
- If the power off button in the toolbar is configured to perform a guest shutdown instead of a hard power off, when used on a suspended VM, the button fails to discard the suspend state. This issue is fixed in this release.
- An incorrect default logging configuration results in the VMware Authorization Service (vmauthd) sending an excessive number of logging messages to the Event Viewer tool. This issue is fixed in this release.
- When clicking Collect Support Data , every file in the proc filesystem is being copied individually by using the cp command, which results in a slow collection process. This issue is fixed in this release.
- Intel Meteor Lake GPUs that run on a Linux host operating system have specific GPU memory heaps. Enabling the 3D acceleration option, causes an error in the memory synchronization code, which results in video rendering corruption on the guest operating system. This issue is fixed in this release.
- Using third-party Vulkan graphics drivers might cause VM issues in Workstation 25H2. For example, the VM screen might freeze or during power off operation, the VM might crash.
Workaround: Open the VMX file of the guest operating system and add the following configuration property and value: mks.enableVulkanPresentation=FALSE.- When creating a VM with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 and 3D acceleration is enabled, the installation of the operating system freezes with a gray screen. This issue is reported to Red Hat.
Workaround: Perform the following tasks.
- In the settings of the VM, on the Hardware tab, select Display.
- Under 3D graphics, deselect the Accelerate 3D Graphics check box.
- When installing Windows 11 Home or Pro edition on a virtual machine, the installer appears to be connected to a network, but continues to prompt for network connection with the following message: Let's connect you to a network. As a result, you cannot proceed with the next installation steps.
Workaround: In the settings of the VM, change the network adapter from NAT to Bridged and proceed with the installation.- In specific situations, based on different hardware and topologies, the multi-monitor feature does not work as expected. You might see issues like reverting the topology to a single screen, or not cycling through monitors.
Workaround: None.

Overigens zie ik niets staan over de al langdurig kaduuk zijnde ingebakken updater, ben benieuwd of die eindelijk eens gefixed is.
