My windows right now is clean install of regular 1809 build before it was pulled and enrolled to Skippy at 272 build I think. VMware worked until this build.
My WMware player is 15.0.0-10134415 used as free version. It still works in regular 1809 at 176 build. Will try to download that later version, right now it's uninstalled. I was going to install Hyper-v but I'm not it's big fan.

Hi there

@CountMike
on version 1809 -134 build (the regular re-released update from 1803) vmware works fine and the VM's all start.
On the previous skippy vmware did work but Bridged networking was broken so already there was a problem with vmware.

I'm sure vmware will address this soon as it's a big player in virtualisation market and won't want to get left behind in future releases of windows. I've already sent info on the VMWARE forums.

(I'm using vmware workstation -- but same problem if I try vmware player (it's included anyway with vmware workstation).

I've backed up this skippy -- can't use if VMWARE doesn't work. Will see what happens from VMWARE forums.

Cheers

I found my first bug in this build. When trying to run Linux Mint 19 in the free version of VMware I get the GSOD.

Hi there
any VM's starting will GSOD with this build using vmware -- I've posted on the VMWARE site so we might get a fix -- I can't really submit a bug to Ms as I used the ISO to install this build (UUPDUMP etc) as I'm not enrolled in the program.

Any VBOX users or HYPER-V users out there running successful VM's with this build as a host. Then at least we can see if it's a specific issue with vmware or a general problem running virtual machines on the build.

Virtual Box works too.

Hi there
Thanks for the tests so definitely a VMWare thing

BTW I tried running this combo

1809 - 134 (current W10 version after update from 1803) as HOST, 1809 skippy as a VM, in the VM (2nd level) tried an XP VM -- same GSOD on the guest ( the ist level VM - 1809 skippy ) so it's definitely a vmare issue with latest skippy windows version .

Possible connection to this Known Issue:

Insiders may see green screens with error System Service Exception in win32kbase.sys when interacting with certain games and apps. We have a fix that will flight in an upcoming flight, we appreciate your patience.



VMWare may be one of the "certain apps". MS definitive speak, as usual.

Hi there
Have reported my findings to VMware -- so over to them. I hope Insider members can / have reported defect(s) to Ms as well.

Another defect -- if you use language accessory packs (these are when there's no full Windows language version but a lot of the menus and display functions are in these languages -- e.g Icelandic, Welsh, etc etc which don't have their own base language editions) when you switch back to say the original language menus are still mixed up in both languages !!!! - even when you check all the settings to revert back to original windows base.
