[QUOTE="simmerskool, post: 1123169, member: 61091"] Running the current version VMware Workstation 17... host win10 -- fedora 42 is Guest. been running fedora many months, no issues. The AV on Host win10 is DeepInstinct. I do allow copy & paste between Host & Guest, but not "drag & drop." I opened firefox in fedora and purchased an item with paypal.
