I’ve got VMWare workstation Pro 17 running on W11 with Linux Mint 21.3 guest.
The PC is a HP Spectre x360 and it runs VMW slowly. Googling suggests it is to do with the e-cores and if I run VMW as admin it runs much quicker.
In Mint I have shared folders set up to mount on boot using
HostLocation GuestLocation fuse.vmhgfs-fuse allow_other 0 0
If I’m running VMW on the host machine normally I can access the shared folders ok. However, if I run as admin I get a permission error.
I’ve tried changing to
HostLocation GuestLocation fuse.vmhgfs-fuse allow_root 0 0
but this doesn’t help.
Any ideas?
