Re: VMWare Workstation 12.5 Auto Suspend of Guests when Windows Host Shuts Down

Yes, I had the same problem with VMware 15 on Windows 10. This worked:

Edit the file "%PROGRAMDATA%\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini" as Administrator and add a new Line with:

vmx.headless.suspendOnHostShutdow = "TRUE"

Now it works without making the VM shared.
