Disable Auto Suspend of VM on VMWare Workstation

***The main reason; If Windows Server & Client is not properly licensed and activated, this is the biggest reason. Please check your license term.

In the VMWare Workstation hypervisor If you do not use a virtual machine for a while, it is automatically suspended by the built-in Auto Suspend feature. To continue using the VM, you must click the Continue this virtual machine button.

Unfortunately, you cannot completely disable Auto Suspend in VMWare Workstation settings. However, you can prevent a VM from suspending with a change to a hypervisor's VMX configuration file settings.

Shut down the VM;
Look at the path of the VMX configuration file in the VM properties;
Open the VMX file in any text edit file: win10x_64.vmx
Add the line : suspend.disabled = "TRUE" to the end of the VMX text file.
Start the VM and make sure your VMWare Workstation administrator is no longer suspending the VM.

suspend.disabled = "TRUE"
