Since the update to 10.1.1 - at least 3 times a day, my Mac will freeze (and not come out of it without a hard reboot), or will get a kernel panic causing the system to reboot. Granted, Apple just had an update and so ran everything yesterday, all day, without running Fusion and did not run into any issues. On the freeze, sometime it happens when waking up, sometimes I will be working on something on the computer, step away for 15 to 20 mins (without it going to sleep), start to work on something...freezes, gives me the ball - and sometimes it looks like it starts to shutdown (programs start closing in the background) and then it hangs. 2 hours later. Still hanging.
So - at the moment, it appears to be something going on with Fusion that causes the freeze or sometimes the kernel panic (I step away for lunch or dinner and come back to a rebooted system). I currently have the following:
Fusion 10.1.1
Macbook Pro Retina (mid 2014)
Running High Sierra, 10.13.2 (17C205)
2.5 GHz, Intel Core i7
16GB memory, 1600 MHz DDR3
So my most recent step is to open up Compatibility in Fusion and step down the hardware version to 12 (as I was having the same issue with freeze and reboot, but maybe once every other day at 10.0.1). Will see what happens here. If that doesn't work, plan to run in Unity mode and see how that fares.
Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue since Fusion update to 10.1.1
Thanks
