The virtual network drivers apparently survived the windows update. I checked whether it has networking capabilities and everything seems fine. While I was reading the message deciding what to do, the main window of wmware appeared anyways. вЂ“ After upgrading windows I was able to run vmware workstation 12 Pro.

вЂ“ While installing the windows update I renamed the vmware folder back and started vmware workstation (with the hope that dlls and exeвЂ™s in use canвЂ™t be modified or deleted). This fooled the windows updater and it was able to continue. вЂ“ When the windows installer complained about vmware, I renamed the vmware installation directory.

Today I succesfully ran the upgrade by doing this:

I browsed around and followed the advice to change the hyper-v settings but that didnвЂ™t do it for me.

When Windows 10 prompted to install the update to release 2004 I was warned it could not proceed due to the incompatibility of Vmware. I just wanted to add to this discussion with my experience being able to keep running vmware workstation 12 Pro (version 12.5.9) after upgrading to Windows 10 2004. Upgrading Windows to break compatibility with previous software is simply unacceptable.

The old software MUST continue to work, even though not taking advantage of the full functionality available with the Windows upgrades until newer versions of the SAME product get released to take advantage of them. If Microsoft makes upgrades to Windows, and new features are introduced, such features CANNOT break compatibility with previous software the users ALREADY have and paid for. They are required to be backwards compatible.ДЄnd precisely why not? Is the concept of backwards compatibility out of the window? Any updates to the Windows platform HAVE to be compatible with all the windows software that came before it.ДЄ Windows OS from 2019 MUST be able to run any Windows software made for earlier versions of the OS.ДЄre you suggesting that Windows uses have to get used to having Microsoft rendering all their windows software useless whenever Microsoft feels like it? I donвЂ™t think so.

Yes, it should! Ancient versions that were made for the Windows of their time must still run with any other Windows updates that are made later. вЂњYou canвЂ™t (reasonably) expect the latest build of Windows 10 to play well with an ancient version of another manufacturerвЂ™s hypervisor вЂ“ or vice-versa.вЂќ If youвЂ™ve never had a hyper-v-related component turned on, then never mind рџ™‚ But please let us know what you find. you donвЂ™t have to turn components off) but I havenвЂ™t gotten around to trying that. ItвЂ™s possible that turning the hyper-v hypervisor stuff off with the bcdedit command is sufficient by itself (i.e.

If you want to turn hyper-v stuff back on, you can use: Then reboot (again) and try your vmware tests. If you find anything to turn off, youвЂ™ll probably have to reboot. YMMV, but itвЂ™s worth a shot with vmware if you donвЂ™t find a better idea.ДЇirst, in the Turn Windows features on or off panel, turn off everything which uses hyper-v, including the hyper-v feature, the new windows sandbox, and everything with вЂњguardвЂќ in the name. I did the following to get virtualbox guests working. I suspect that this problem would affect vmware as well. The new sandbox feature, in particular, uses hyper-v, and hyper-v components remain active even after youвЂ™ve turned the sandbox off again. Windows components which use hyper-v prevent virtualbox guests from starting in 1903. I might mention that the incompatibility issue referred to is present in the latest version of VMware (V15) according to reports elsewhere on the Web. I have been testing Windows using the Insider program from within VMware for several years, and would like to continue doing so. The link suggests that this can be resolved by preventing Hyper-V from running (however, in my case, hyper-V is not enabled). Occasionally, VMware produces an error window indicating that вЂњVMware workstation and Device/Credential Guard are not compatible вЂ¦вЂќ and provides a link for further information. The only way to resolve the issue is to reboot the (Host) desktop PC. This results in an inability to pause, suspend, shut down or restart the guest OS (Windows Insider). Initially, Windows Insider opens and I am able to log in, and then about 3-5 minutes later Windows 10 Insider freezes, and about 30 seconds later the parts of VMware dedicated to the open virtual machine also freeze. Since upgrading to Windows 10 (Version 1903) I am unable to access Windows 10 Insider from within my VMware V12.5.9 virtual machine.
