Hi everyone, I'm having a strange issue on my desktop: When I open a VM by double-clicking the .vmx file, the VMWare Player opens (empty) and doesn't do anything. VMWare Player then uses about 50% CPU on a single core indefinitely, and nothing happens even if I wait for half an hour. Resource monitor (host system is Win7 Pro) shows no disk activity...
If I open VMWare Player from the Start Menu and open the virtual machine from there, everything works fine. This isn't a big problem tbh, but I'm so used to just double-clicking .vmx files that it's pretty annoying, and I'm wondering what the issue is.
Anyone else having this issue? Player is up to date and this happens with any VM.
