(In Windows world, use robocopy to ensure that the copy to backup media is always 100%, never use file explorer because that cannot be trusted in important cases between misc medias or network. The link is not exactly for your versions - but carry this out on backup computers for safety.

You may need to install Workstation Pro Evaluation version in order to do this (good for 30 days). IF this is about VMware VM-computer version, you might want to change this, since this is a pretty simple and quick way. Better to use Google to verify - anyway a test is safe if you use copy-computers. As for Downgrading VM-version of your VM-computer, I think a text editor would do the job. Smaller Updates can be removed per KB number.Īs for verifying, which is it, you can make copies from VMs for safe testing and figure out, which of the two possibilities it is.

There is no Feature Upgrade Downgrade option - the wording is sometimes like this, but in reality, the way is a new install with NOT doing a new Feature Upgrade (there are settings for NOT doing that in Update Settings). That's more difficult to figure out if some KB-update has caused the problem. as for a Windows computer = VM, well, you need what you need. Especially this is true if everything works to your satisfaction on 15.x version you don't need to Upgrade your VMs into 16.x VM-version, even if the software is 16.x. Thus the real difference is the Windows installation and NOT VM-computer upgrade into 16.x version. maybe somebody else?įrom your description, I'm guessing that when running 16.x software you have a DIFFERENT Windows installation when using a 15.x or 16.x VM computer. Thanks for the clarifications and sorry that I cannot offer more on the point advice.

In games, you probably use 3D acceleration in the VM and thus the problem may be because of combined problems (like new VM software version trying to access new Host graphics driver versions. So, with your current Windows 10, does it work, in some case (not sure what case that might be, check the questions above)?Īnyway, I think any of these 3 matters (Win 10, software upgrade, VM computer upgrade) can cause a certain problem, but it would be good to limit the possibilities. has your Windows 10 had a Feature Upgrade associated with the problem timing? This is well possible to cause problems, even security updates could do that. not sure why you would need to upgrade the VM-computer itself, you can run lower VM-computer versions with newer Player/Pro version in a rather flexible manner (if you don't need some of the new features). are you really using Player or Workstation Pro? Pro gives you easy upgrade choices.

however, in the above you say that VM-computer upgrade started the problems. initially, you say that upgrading VMware started the problems

I'm not an expert in particular game launching problems that there might be - although I know that Windows 10 itself has many with state of the art games.īut for the actually problem status, perhaps for others to give you a better idea, could you verify these:
