Parallels desktop windows 10 freezes in sleep mode keygen#

Windows 10 cannot be woken up when it goes into sleep mode. I am specifically talking about Windows 10 going into sleep mode. I'm not talking about suspending the VM via VMWare. If you want it to wake up with a touch of the keyboard or mouse movement you need to put it to sleep through the windows settings in the vm it's self so the processes/methods to wake up are still running. You must click one or the other in the settings. The two options are: a) Suspend the virtual machineī) Put the guest OS into standby mode and leave the virtual machine powered on There are two options you must select for the "How should the virtual machine respond when the guest OS is placed in standby".

This is a setting under "VM Options" and it is default. This isn't something you click on in VMWare. Hey there, I think there is some confusion as to what you're responding to with regards to "Standby response". Standby mode suspends ALL the processes running on the VM, You shouldn't be using this method to accomplish what you want. I do know that if I touch the keyboard/mouse while the VM is sleeping then they DO turn on, as in, the keyboard and mouse turn on, but the monitor that the VM is connected to does not turn on. I have a suspicion this is due to the pcie reset methods listed in /etc/vmware/passthru.map for the USB controller that is pass-thru though I can't confirm this. But this isn't happening.ĮDIT: WOL via port 7 "magic packet" does in fact wake the machines correctly, however, moving the keyboard and mouse is not. Instead, the expected response is that I can simply move the mouse or click the keyboard and it starts up. This means that, if at any time a Windows 10 VM has the Sleep button clicked, the machine is frozen solid and must be reset (data loss potential). If that happens, the machine is effectively dead and must be reset via ESXi. I am simply going into Windows 10 -> Startup Menu -> Sleep. I don't see any other relevant setting.ĮDIT: To clarify, I am not putting the VM to sleep via ESXi. Once it is frozen at this point, I have to reboot. The only way I can get it to become responsive is to Suspend and then bring out of suspended mode. In ESXi, under VM Options -> Power management -> I have enabled "Put the guest in standby mode but leave the VM powered on" enabled but I have also tried the "Suspend the virtual machine" option. When coping files to multiple network shares (seems to be triggered at 3 simultaneous copies), VM freezes up. The issue I am having is that, when the VM enters sleep mode, I cannot seem to be able to wake it up. I have an ESXi 6.7u3 system with a Windows 10 VM w/USB and GPU pass-thru.
