Ans:
此問題發生的原因為嘗試「更新 VMware Tools 版本」時發生錯誤所導致,詳細資訊請參考 VMware KB 2044176 - Shutting down a Windows guest OS displays a message in the event log: vmx returned Autoupgrade is not supported for guest.initiateUpgradeAtShutdown,以下為簡述其解決作法:

1. 請將該台 VM 虛擬主機 關機 (Shutdown)
2. 修改該台 VM 虛擬主機設定檔「.vmx」,加上參數「isolation.tools.autoinstall.disable=TRUE」後開機即可解決此問題。
