Hello

I have recently updated my iMac to the latest OS. Since then my VMWare Fusion hasn’t worked properly. I can start up my virtual machine, but can’t actually access it after it starts up the same way prior to the OS update. Has anyone experience this and if so, what have you done to resolve it? I’m guessing I might need to update to VMWare 11, but don’t want to do so if it doesn’t resolve the issue.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

To resolve this issue, I recommend trying the following.
1. Open system preferences and navigate to the Security & Privacy Preference Pane
2. Activate the Privacy tab and make sure that the Accessibility category is highlighted
3. Unlock the System Preferences window and make sure that VMWare Fusion.app is checked in the table labeled, Allow the apps below to control your computer
4. Close System Preferences and you should be all set.

In following the above instructions, once I get to the "privacy" tab, it shows VMware Fusion in the "Allow the apps below to control your computer." section, but I am unable to select it, or remove/add. Suggestions on how to correct? Need computer asap.

Is the VMWare Fusion checkbox selected in the table? This is what grants it access to your computer.
