I have VMWare Workstaion 8, and just recently reinstalled Windows 8.1, same core drivers as the original install of the host OS. I keep my VM's on my storage drive. After reinstalling my host OS, whenever I shutdown a VM, or close Workstation Explorer.exe hangs. When I check the event viewer I see "Application Hang". I have NEVER had this issue before. My original install of W8.1 didn't do this, and the core drivers (chip-set, etc) are the same. I can't figure out what changed. Any ideas?
