In Windows Explorer, try to open the Downloads folder by double clicking on Computer > Shared Folders > Downloads. NOTE: On the Mac I am connected to the NAS using the SMB protocol.Ģ. It doesn't seem to matter if I share "Downloads" with Windows as a Shared Folder or Mirrored Folder. in my Mac's Downloads folder I have an alias that points to folder "X" on my NAS. Share a folder that contains an alias that points to a folder on a server.Į.g. Very grateful to stembridge for this post as it's saved me from blowing my brains out.ġ. Never had this issue before, so I'm not sure if this is an El Cap or Fusion issue since I updated both at the same time. Just (finally) updated my old 2009 iMac i7 to El Cap after running VM Fusion 6 on Snow Leopard for many years. I can confirm this is still an issue as of Fusion 8.5.9 running Win7 on El Capitan with latest updates. Thank goodness for folks like you, stembridge.

Surely they must have the ability to detect somehow whether a file is an alias and force the software to subsequently ignore it. Obviously I have no idea whether VMware is addressing it, but by virtue of the fact that it's in their knowledge base, I gotta believe they're aware of it and they absolutely should NOT ignore it.
How this hasn't been a bigger issue is very surprising to me. I have to believe that we are not alone in using aliases to quickly access content nested on shared hard drives of windows based servers. I can confirm that Fusion 8.1.2 still has this BUG and yes I do believe it is a bug because there is absolutely no good reason for this behavior. And even tho I did come across a similar problem documented in the vmware knowledge base it was poorly detailed and as such I breezed past it.Īnyway, I found that your solution worked perfectly for me as well and thought you deserved a shoutout for it. I was having the same trouble and was at my wits end trying to figure it out. I put the alias back on my Desktop, and "boom," crashed almost immediately, which seems to confirm the alias is indeed the problem.ĭoes Windows do some sort of predictive "read-ahead" as you're moving your cursor around and hovering over folders?Īt any rate, the trigger seems to be an alias that points to a network drive, which hard crashes Windows / VMware.Īt any rate, the trigger seems to be an alias that points to a network drive, which hard crashes Windows / just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to detail out this problem and your solution. What's weird is that I initially put the offending alias in a Desktop sub-folder, and VMware worked fine until I rolled my arrow cursor over the sub-folder (did not click to open it), when it crashed again. Playing a hunch, I removed an alias (which pointed to a file on a network drive) from my Desktop that I had recently created (I've had other aliases on my Desktop for many months, but none of them pointed to network drives), and it now seems to work okay. If I share any other folder, it works fine. This is *only* happening if I share my Mac Desktop. Both the VMware Fusion and vmware-vmx processes crash (as shown in Activity Monitor).

Just did the full uninstall/install cycle and it still hard crashes Windows (no BSD, just freezes and VWware along with it). I did try reinstalling ("repair") VMware Tools, but did not uninstall them first. MBP Retina 15, Mid 2015 running OS X 10.11.5 As El Capitan was recently updated, VWWare Fusion was recently updated, and Windows gets patches weekly, I'm not sure which, if any, of those may have caused the problem. I have been unable to find any online articles that have been helpful in fixing this problem, and it's impacting my ability to get my work done.Īgain, this has been working fine until recently. I can also "mirror" my Desktop (instead of sharing) and it works fine that way, too, but that approach is impractical as I no longer can see my normal Windows desktop within Windows, since it gets replaced with all the files from my Mac Desktop, If I restart in Safe Mode, I can open/read/write files just fine. Sometimes I have to Force Quit (and kill several VMWare processes) before I can restart. I get no error message, just a Beachball Of Death, and VMWare will eventually (or not) report that Windows crashed and offer to restart. Sometime in the past month or so, VMWare started completely freezing/locking up when I attempt to open the Desktop folder within Win7, or if I try to open a file from within an application running in Windows.

I access my Mac OS X Desktop as a Shared Folder within my VM, and have run it this way for years without a problem.
