Folks,
Am running VMware® Workstation 15 Pro (15.5.2 build-15785246) on Windows 10, 64-bit (Build 18363) 10.0.18363. Recently i deployed a Fedora 31 workstation VM on top of it with 2 Cpu and 4GB of RAM with a 30GB Preallocaed disk. it's the only guest active on this host at a time and i have couple of windows guest which is in powered off state and i don't use those guest for several months.
For the past couple of days i notice a sudden freeze of my Fedora guest and leave me to do force poweroff. There is no heavy Disk I/O on windows hosts.
Here are my host and guest details
