If I click in the window, the mouse click doesn't appear to be handled by the VM. It's as if there's a shield protecting the VM from mouse clicks. If I click a bunch of times or sometimes through using the keyboard while the mouse cursor is within the bounds of the VM's window, I can get past the shielding and then function, but everything feels slow.
I'm at the point where I may just give up on Fusion, but I thought I'd reach out and see if the community might have found a solution. Fusion is unusable for me in the current state. I've tried several ways to negotiate the support maze to get actual attention from VMware support. No luck. Very disappointed. If anyone has a suggestion about how to move forward, I'd love to hear it.
Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to switch to Parallels. If not, please add it to the list, quit and re-open Fusion then give it a try. Also, have you tried with gaming mouse? You may have missed the details in my opening post. I outlined that I had indeed checked the accessibility settings, removed, re-added and enabled, and also tried both of the gaming mouse settings with significant testing at each step.
I also mentioned I created a clean installed Win10 client and experienced the same issues. Despite the fact that I'm on a brand new, clean built no settings migrated , iMac running Catalina, I also went to the trouble to add a partition, install Catalina from scratch on the partition, update the OS, install Fusion 12, copy my VM to the new partition and test in a pristine environment with no other software or settings potentially muddying the waters.
No joy. So the issue strongly appears to be between my hardware, Catalina and the version of Fusion 12 that I'm running. Since my hardware and worked perfectly with the previous version of VMware Fusion, I have to believe that the problem is with Fusion I've now spent many, many hours and lost a month or more of access to my client under Fusion.
I've not been successful achieving any meaningful support. Disappointing after years and years of great experience with Fusion. Yes, it "runs", but every time I bring the focus to the client and attempt to do anything, I have to click and wait anywhere from or more seconds before the client acknowledges and responds to mouse clicks. Once the mouse is "seen" and responded to, I can function relatively normally until I need to move the mouse away from the client's window to work on macOS.
This isn't truly functional. I had considered going back to the previous version of Fusion, but of course, I've made too many changes to the upgraded client that going back isn't feasible. I couldn't wait any longer as I need a functioning Windows solution to operate at work and home. I migrated the VM to Parallels which runs the migrated version perfectly. Perhaps someday I'll consider coming back to VMware Fusion but that will require that I learn how to reach and achieve a better support experience.
I'm with you. This is a colossal waste of time. Works well. Then Windows or VMware does an update. Back in search for a solution mode. A little QA would be a good idea. Can't coax mouse to work at VMWare layer. Tried everything. Removed and added accessibility. Different mouse profiles. Tried to reinstall VMWareTools, but no mouse to click on the installer when loaded.
Rebooted VMWare. Rebooted Catalina. All combos. Still no joy. I'll keep searching and am sure I'll figure it out. Hours wasted. Frustration mounting I am starting to run out of patience. Parallels is starting to look like a good transition, so I can spend time on developing vs this frustration I'm disappointed with VMware. I'd always found their products pretty darn solid despite the obvious complexities underneath.
I've used competitive solutions over the years at times, but always relied on VMware as my mainstay for virtualization. Press these keys to change the view: c - CPU metrics is displayed by default , m — memory, n — network, d — disk. Press space to update displayed values the values are updated automatically every 5 seconds. Press h for help and q to quit. The MEM overcommit avg value is as follows: the ratio of the requested memory to the available memory minus 1.
The recommended value of this parameter is 0 or less. Check running processes and find the one that loads the CPU. Upgrade hardware — install a more powerful CPU or more processors on the host. Check VM configuration. If the number of virtual processors for VMs is more than needed, reduce the number of virtual processors for VMs to free up resources for the host. Low performance of a storage system causes low performance of virtual machines that store virtual disks on this storage system.
Storage latency is critical for VM performance. Hard disk drives with RPM provide extra low performance. Using disks with SAS interface is preferred. In production environments, use non-growable or preallocated thick disks. Eager-zeroed thick provisioned disks are faster for first write operations.
If you use an HDD to store VMs, perform defragmentation of this physical disk drive or array, and perform defragmentation of a virtual disk in virtual machine settings. Use partitions to reduce disk fragmentation. Install an operating system on one partition, store files used by applications for example, a database on another partition.
Update firmware of your HBA on a server. Check disk health. Perform diagnostics of the disk and file system. If the disk is corrupted, replace the disk immediately.
Disk encryption reduces performance due to overheads. Move VM files to non-encrypted storage if encryption is not critical for the VM, or turn off disk encryption. Make sure that there is free space on a disk inside a VM. Insufficient disk space causes performance degrading because an operating system and applications cannot write temporary files. You can migrate your VM to another disk or disk array that is not overloaded. Virtual disk snapshots reduce virtual disk performance.
Each snapshot produces an additional delta VMDK file of a virtual disk. The copy-on-write mechanism is used.
As a result, data is read from multiple virtual disk files on the same physical disk, and this reduces VM performance. Disk overload increases as the number of snapshots grows. Snapshots are usually used for temporary purposes for example, when you copy data during a backup job or install or test an application inside a VM.

Thread starter saik0 Start date Dec 8, There seems to be a problem with the mouse inside the client OS. The mouse cursor is fine when accesing the host machine directly although there's difference in speed when inside guest and outside probably vmware-tools not doing its job?
Ubuntu as guest OS has no difference in cursor speed when inside or outside gues directly on host machine OR via RDP I tried both vmware-tools and open-vm-tools. Any clue? Also, I tried to connect remotely but straight to the FreeBSD guest via VNC build in vmware feature - the mouse the cursor moves only diagonally to the bottom.
