I. Problem description

  1. Originally VMware used very well, after upgrading the system, I found the second day to open the software is very slow, especially the circle, VMware open takes half a day to enter, open the system is slow, slow operation, in fact, the cause of this software is blocked by the firewall!
  2. Note that should first check whether because of their own computer configuration, configuration problems this thing in addition to add there is no good way

Second, the cause of the problem

The software is blocked by a firewall

Third, problem solving

The solution is to close the firewall, but it should be noted that some friends close the firewall or can not solve the reason is actually the wrong operation

Step description:

  1. Disable firewall (for example, Windows 10) : win+S open the search box, enter firewall, and select windowsDefender firewall

  1. Enable or disable the firewall

  1. Turn off the firewall, both options

  1. Open VMware, if the speed is restored, it is ok, if not, you need to restart the computer (very important), restart the problem is basically resolved, but in order to avoid problems please read down

  2. Go back and select allow applications or features

6. Select allow other applications (note that the firewall must be turned off and VMware must be turned off first)7. Click Browse and go to vmware.exe to confirm the VMware installation directory8. Click Add

9. Click Add to find the one just added, and then note that both public and private check boxes are checked

  1. After the choice is determined
  2. The firewall can also be enabled. If the speed is not recovered, shut down the firewall. After restarting the VM, enable the firewall if no problem is found
