If you save a file or attempt to open a file from an application in Unity mode, the file system you see is the file system inside the virtual machine. You can also drag and drop and copy and paste files between the host system and the guest operating system. On host system and virtual machine applications that are displayed in Unity mode, you can use keyboard shortcuts to copy, cut, and paste images, plain text, formatted text, and email attachments between applications. Items for open virtual machine applications appear on the host system taskbar in the same way as open host applications.

You can do that from the Power menu in VMware Player.In Unity mode, virtual machine applications appear on the host system desktop, you can use the virtual machine Start or Applications menu from the host system, and the virtual machine console view is hidden.

Make sure the VM in question has been powered off.

VMware Player supports Hyper-V from v15.5.5 and up. I’ve tested this version to work with “Memory integrity” activated.

Alternatively, you can upgrade to VMware Player 17.

Open Settings > Privacy & security > Windows Security > Device security > Core isolation details.

Deactivate “Memory integrity” in Windows 11 (host OS).

Please note that this may not fix the problem for you. The procedure is a bit different depending on whether or not you’ve enabled Hyper-V on the host OS. To fix the error, I had to follow the steps below. Refer to VMware KB article 81623 at for more details.” Looking at the error log of the VM when running under VMware Player 16, I found the following error message with a link to an article at VMware: “VMware Player does not support virtualized performance counters on this host. I’ve not encountered the error on VMs running earlier versions of Windows Server. My guess is that later versions of Windows will be affected as well. I came across this error on a BizTalk Server 2013 VM running Windows Server 2012 as guest OS. This error can have many causes, but as I understand it, it’s sometimes caused by VMware not supporting all virtualization features of the host OS and CPU. If you are running different versions of BizTalk Server on virtual machines using VMware Player, and your host OS is Windows 11, chances are that you’ve run into error 0xc0000005 by now.
