In full screen mode, the virtual machine display fills the screen and you cannot see the borders of the Workstation Pro window.
You can configure the guest operating system to report battery information. This feature is useful when you run a virtual machine in full screen mode on a laptop. See Report Battery Information in the Guest.
Prerequisites
- Verify that the latest version of VMware Tools is installed in the guest operating system.
- Verify that the guest operating system display mode is larger than the host system display mode. If the guest operating system display mode is smaller than the host system display mode, you might not be able to enter full screen mode. If you cannot enter full screen mode, add the line mks.maxRefreshRate=1000 to the virtual machine configuration (.vmx) file.
- Power on the virtual machine.
- If you have multiple monitors, move the Workstation Pro window onto the monitor to use for full screen mode.
