Resolved Issues:

Two interface items on the Access Control screen used the same hot-key combination:

In a virtual machine, on the Access Control screen, VM > Settings > Options > Access Control, the Encrypt button and the Require the user to change the encryption password when this virtual machine is moved or copied check box both used the same hot-key combination. This issue is resolved. These two items now use different hot-key combinations.

Attempting to suspend a Windows virtual machine with the Sensor Diagnostic Tool running caused the virtual machine to become unresponsive:

When you attempted to suspend a Windows virtual machine while the Sensor Diagnostic Tool was running, the screen went black and provided no option to quit or power off the virtual machine.

Using audio conferencing software on a Windows 8 guest operating system caused a severe echo during both video and audio calls:

When you used audio conferencing software on a Windows 8 guest, participants using the built in speaker, as opposed to headphones, received a severe echo during both video and audio calls.

On the Windows 95 guest operating system, the mouse cursor jumped:

When you moved the mouse in a Windows 95 guest, the cursor sometimes jumped to the side. This issue is resolved. The cursor moves smoothly in a Windows 95 guest now.

Symbolic links created within a Windows guest operating system on a Linux host did not list files under subdirectories:

When you created a symbolic link, such as with the mklink command, from the local disk to a shared folder in a Windows guest on a Linux host, files and subdirectories were not listed under the shared folder. This is resolved in this release, but requires a workaround. For the symbolic link to work successfully, configure sharedFolderX.hostDefaultCase = "FALSE" in the .vmx file, where X is the number of the shared folder that is used for the target of the symbolic link command you use.

Workstation did not display Regions in the VMware vCloud Air Subscription node:

Workstation could not automatically detect the Fedora 21 ISO when creating a new Fedora 21 virtual machine. You had to manually select the Fedora 21 guest operating system.

Under specific conditions, when the alipaybsm.exe file was installed on the Workstation host, network service was disrupted:

The alipaybsm.exe file is associated with the Alipay security control software developed by Alipay.com. A network service disturbance could occur when this EXE file was installed on the Workstation host.
After connecting to vCloud Air from Workstation, no virtual machines were listed in the Workstation virtual machine library.

Using Easy Install for the Ubuntu 15.04 guest operating system with kernel 3.19.0-15-generic prevented you from enabling folder sharing:

When you used Easy Install to install the Ubuntu 15.04 guest with kernel 3.19.0-15-generic, Open VMware Tools (open-vm-tools), which are installed automatically and do not include the Shared Folder feature, prevented you from enabling folder sharing, even when you installed VMware Tools by selecting VM > Reinstall VMware Tools. This issue is resolved. Now, after you use Easy Install, you can install VMware Tools to enable folder sharing.

Reverting to a snapshot failed following a specific set of steps:

When you powered off a virtual machine, changed its virtual device node setting, and powered the machine back on, an attempt to then revert to a snapshot failed.

A Windows 10 guest operating system running idly caused Workstation to crash:

When you let a Windows 10 guest run idly for a couple of hours or more, Workstation sometimes crashed.
Using the Easy Install option to install the Ubuntu 14.04 or Ubuntu 15.04 guest operating system failed to install VMware Tools

Security Issues:

Changelog

The following issues were resolved in this version of VMware Workstation Pro:

When you use 64-bit VIX API to control virtual machines, the API breaks:

The 32-bit components of the VIX API are packaged in the 64-bit directory, which causes a break when you use 64-bit VIX API. This issue is resolved.
When you use Easy Install to install CentOS 7.0, the installation might stop at "WELCOME TO CENTOS 7" page. This issue is resolved.
When you use the Easy Install option with the Windows Server 2016 guest operating system, the virtual machine displays a black screen. This issue is resolved.
After installing VMware Tools version 10.0.0 on a FreeBSD 10.x virtual machine, the guest might not shut down properly when performed from the VMware Workstation Pro interface. When you install VMware Tools version 10.0.0 on a FreeBSD 10.x virtual machine, the VMware Tools service, vmtoolsd, might not launch. The VMware Tools service runs in the background and is responsible for a variety of operations. A symptom you might encounter is that the guest operating system does not shout down as intended when performed from the VMware Workstation Pro interface. For example, the first attempt to shutdown the guest from the interface might fail while the second attempt from the interface is converted into a virtual machine power off operation instead of a graceful shutdown. This issue is resolved.

Virtual machines fail to start on a host with an Intel Skylake processor:

A compatibility issue might prevent a virtual machine from starting on a host with an Intel Skylake processor when the Gather Debugging Information option in the virtual machine's advanced settings is set to Full. The error message displayed includes ASSERT vmcore/vmm/cpu/fpu.c:347. This issue is resolved.

RESOLVED ISSUES:

During the Easy Install process, VMware Workstation Pro misinterprets Windows 10 Version 1511 ISO images as Windows server 2012 R2 images. When creating a new virtual machine, if you select a Windows 10 version 1511 ISO file in the New Virtual Machine Wizard, the wizard says "Windows 10 detected. The operating system will use Easy Install". But in the next step, the "Version of Windows to install" dialog box only displays options for Windows Server 2012 R2. This issue is resolved.
The Microsoft Excel application responds to input with a one-second delay. When you run Microsoft Excel 2013 on a Windows 10 virtual machine, the application responds to your input with a one-second delay. This issue is resolved.
Resuming a virtual machine that was suspended with the vmware-kvm.exe command, causes the desktop of the virtual machine to freeze. When you start a virtual machine that was put into a suspended state with the vmware-kvm.exe command, the virtual machine starts successfully in the background. However, the desktop of the virtual machine does not respond to mouse or keyboard operations. This issue is resolved.
When you issue the vmrun command with the nogui option on VMware Workstation 12 Player, which is bundled with Workstation 12 Pro, the command fails. This issue is resolved.
On an OpenSuse 13.2 host, dragging a virtual machine to a folder in the virtual machine library fails. This issue is resolved.
A UAS device connected to a USB 3.0 port on a Windows 7 or later host might fail to successfully connect to the guest. When a UAS device is connected to a guest operating system and you turn the device off and back on, the device does not successfully reconnect to the guest. In Workstation Pro when you select VM > Removable Devices, the device is listed as connected to the guest, but the device does not appear in Windows Explorer within the guest. This issue is resolved.
A newly added network adapter uses an unintended network device type, potentially preventing the use of the network device. When you add a network adapter on the Customize Hardware screen in the New Virtual Machine Wizard, the extra network adapter does not use the same network device type as the existing network adapter. Instead it uses the Vlance network device type, which might prevent the guest operating system from using the network device. This issue is resolved.

On RHEL 6.8 host with kernel 2.6.32-642.el6.x86_64, Workstation fails to launch due to vmnet driver compilation error. This issue is resolved.

Wireless adapter cannot connect after Workstation is installed:

Beginning with Windows 8, Microsoft implement a security policy (GPO) that prevents non-domain and domain simultaneous connections. When this GPO is enabled and Workstation is installed, Windows considers the virtual adapters that Workstation creates as physical connections. Therefore, the wireless connection cannot be established because Windows prefers the wired connection (virtual adapter) to wifi connections. This issue is resolved.

Workstation menu View->Fit Guest Now does not work for Windows Vista guest with VMware Tools installed:

When you power on a Windows Vista guest with latest VMware Tools installed, and click Workstation menu View->Fit Guest Now, the guest screen does not change. This issue is resolved.
