I posted this in the apple forums:
"The latest Mojave update has caused a problem with running VMs using VMWare Fusion 11.1.1. Prior to the update I could close my 2017 15" MacBookPro lid and when I resumed, any running VMs came back with no problem. After this last update, if I have a running VM when I close the lid and it goes into sleep when I open it back up, VMWare Fusion stops responding. I get the spinning rainbow wheel forever across any VMWare Fusion windows, and it won't let me do anything. I have to Force Quit it every time. If I remember to suspend/pause my running VMs, this issue does not happen."
And of course, the immediate finger pointing started with this reply:
"You may have to contact VMWare support or check their forums. They may need a new update to address the issue."
So, here I am. Any help is appreciated. Let me know what info I can provide to help this issue.
Thanks!
