VMware Fusion 11 Resource Issue: A Step-by-Step Guide to Resolving Screen Capture Privileges

When using VMware Fusion 11, users may encounter a resource issue that prevents them from capturing their virtual machine's screen. This problem is often caused by a lack of privileges, which can be easily resolved with the following steps.

To begin, you need to represent each column in the command correctly. The correct order from left to right is crucial, and columns should be separated by commas. For example, `/usr/bin/sqlite3 -column -header '/Library/Application Support//TCC.db' 'SELECT * FROM access'`. This allows VMware Fusion to capture the screen of a running VM, which is necessary for displaying the VM's screen.

Another important step is disabling System Integrity Protection (SIP). To do this, restart your computer and boot into Recovery Mode. From here, you can disable SIP and continue with the troubleshooting process.

For some users, including myself, the issue may not be immediately apparent. For example, when viewing the Screen Recording setting in Security & Privacy > Privacy, it may appear as a grey box without any options for adding or enabling applications. This was the case after upgrading to macOS Catalina, where I found that System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Screen Recording was not enabled for VMware Fusion.

To resolve this issue, you can try a few different approaches. One method is to check your VM settings and ensure that screen capture privileges are enabled. You can do this by opening the VM's settings, clicking on 'Display' and then selecting 'Capture' from the drop-down menu.

Another option is to restart your VM and see if the issue resolves itself. If not, you may need to try a different approach, such as disabling SIP or checking for any software conflicts that may be causing the problem.

In my own case, I found that upgrading to VMware Fusion 11 resolved the issue for me. However, others may experience problems with their VPN client software, which can cause compatibility issues with their VMs.

Ultimately, resolving resource issues with VMware Fusion 11 requires patience and persistence. By following these steps and troubleshooting common issues, you should be able to get your VM up and running smoothly in no time.
