1. Introduction
VMware Workstation 17.0 is a very powerful virtual machine that can help users open multiple systems on the Windows system at the same time. It can not only install different operating systems on the virtual machine, such as Mac, Linux and Windows10/11, etc., but also Works with cloud technologies and container technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes. In addition, the software can also help users simulate the complete operating environment of various real physical machines, such as cpu, graphics card, sound card, monitor, network, etc. The software is widely used and is often used in code development, solution construction, application testing, Product demos and more.
VMware Workstation 17.0 Pro has been released, and it brings many new features, such as Microsoft's Windows 11 hard requirement: Virtual Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0.
The introduction of this feature means that this virtual machine now officially supports Windows 11 as a guest operating system. At the same time, VMware Workstation 17.0 Pro also brings many other new features, such as Windows Server 2022, RHEL 9, Debian 11.x and Ubuntu 22.04.
Version 17.0 also automatically starts a local virtual machine when the host starts, users can also choose between full or fast encryption, supports OpenGL 4.3 (Windows 7, Linux with Mesa 22.0.0 or later versions of Linux kernel 5.16.0) , and WDDM 1.2.

3. Frequently asked questions
#How to solve the black screen when starting the VMware client system?
After summing up, the possible reason is that two LSP protocols (vSockets DGRAM, vSockets STREAM) were registered after version 14, resulting in an exception!
Solution: Use the LSP repair tool (for example: LSP tool in Huorong Security or ARK tool) to repair the LSP network protocol, or reset the network link Winsock, that is, open the command prompt cmd.exe, enter the command netsh winsock reset, and restart The system can solve it!
#How to solve the problem of being stuck in suspended animation after starting the VMware software?
Solution: You can try to turn off the system firewall!
4. Software function
1. vSphere connection
Use Workstation Pro to connect to vSphere, ESXi or other Workstation Pro servers. Drive remote Linux or Windows virtual machines (and other virtual machines), command power actions, or transfer virtual machines to and from your vSphere environment. Common VMware hypervisors enable easy portability.
2. Powerful virtual network connection
Use real routing software and tools to create complex IPv4 or IPv6 virtual networks for virtual machines, or design a complete data center topology by integrating with third-party software. New to Workstation is the introduction of network simulation for packet loss, latency, and bandwidth throttling.
3. High-performance 3D graphics
VMware Workstation Pro supports DirectX 10 and OpenGL 3.3, which can provide a smooth and responsive experience when running 3D applications. Run the most demanding 3D applications like AutoCAD or SOLIDWORKS in a Windows virtual machine with near-native performance.
4. Support for high-resolution displays
Workstation Pro has been optimized to support high-resolution 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) displays for desktops, and QHD+ (3200 x 1800) for laptops and x86 tablets display screen. It also supports multiple displays with different DPI settings, such as new 4K UHD displays as well as existing 1080P HD displays.
5. Cross Compatibility
Create Linux or Windows virtual machines capable of running across the VMware portfolio, or create restricted virtual machines for use with Horizon FLEX. We even support open standards, allowing you to not only create virtual machines, but also use virtual machines from other vendors.
6. Huge virtual machine
Create large-scale virtual machines with up to 16 virtual CPUs, 8 TB virtual disk, and 64 GB of memory to run the most demanding desktop and server applications in a virtualized environment. Take graphics-intensive applications to the next level by allocating up to 2 GB of host-provided video memory to your virtual machine.
7. Restrict access to virtual machines
Protect corporate content by restricting access to Workstation virtual machine settings such as drag and drop, copy and paste, and connect to USB devices. Virtual machines can be encrypted and password protected to ensure only authorized users have access.
8. Shared virtual machines
quickly share and test applications in a simulated production environment. Run VMware Workstation Pro as a server to share a repository of preloaded Linux and Windows virtual machines in every desired configuration with your team members, department or organization.
9. Run multiple operating systems on one PC
With VMware Workstation Pro, you can run multiple operating systems simultaneously on the same Windows or Linux PC. Create realistic Linux and Windows virtual machines and other desktop, server, and tablet environments (including configurable virtual networking and network condition simulation) for code development, solution building, application testing, product demonstrations, and more.
10. Can be developed and tested for any platform
Workstation Pro supports hundreds of operating systems and works with cloud environments and container technologies such as Docker.
11. Can connect to VMware vSphere
Securely connect to vSphere, ESXi or other Workstation servers to start, control and manage virtual machines (VMs) and physical hosts. The familiar VMware hypervisor maximizes productivity and enables easy transfer of virtual machines to and from local PCs.
12. Secure isolated environment
Run a second secure desktop with different privacy settings, tools, and network connection configurations, or use forensics tools to investigate operating system vulnerabilities. Workstation offers one of the most secure hypervisors in the industry, with powerful features for IT security professionals.
