On previous versions of VMware, you could simply click the X on the player window, and an option pops up asking if you want to run it in the background. I’m not sure why they removed this feature in Workstation 16, but this is a simple way to achieve the same effect.Other useful guides:

By default, VMware should be running at C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation. Inside that folder is a VMrun.exe.

Once confirmed that is correct, you can move onto the next step.

Browse to the path where your virtual machine configuration file (.vmx) is stored. In this example, I am going to automatically start Home Assistant after rebooting my Windows 10 host PC.

Mine is located in C:\HomeAssistant:

This option will automatically launch your Home Assistant VM after logging into your PC. To do this, we will be creating a simple batch file and placing it into the Startup folder. If using a USB zwave/zigbee dongle (I’m using the Nortek GoControl), then make sure to follow this guide to automatically connect USB drives to VMware Workstation.

Go to your desktop. Right-click > Create new text document.

Double-click to open, and then paste this command. You will need to change the path to your own .vmx file.

The nogui at the end tells VMware to run the Home Assistant virtual machine without opening the VMware Workstation Player window, which means it will run in the background.

Then save the file. File > Save As > and then change the “Save as Type” to All Files.

Name the file something like Autostart Home Assistant.bat.

The last step is to move the batch file to your Startup folder. This is a folder where programs will automatically start after you log into your computer or server.

Open Run > type Shell:Common Startup

Simply drag and drop the batch file into this folder and click Yes on the Administrator prompt.

Congratulations – Home Assistant will now run in the background without the GUI after logging in!

This option will automatically start Home Assistant after your computer reboots, without you needing to login. This would be useful if your PC reboots for updates or if you lose power.If you are a using a USB zwave/zigbee dongle (I’m using the Nortek GoControl), then make sure to follow this guide to automatically connect USB drives to VMware Workstation first.Create a batch file just like you would’ve done in Option 1. Save it to a folder like C:\Scripts. Then, create a scheduled task to run the batch file by following the guide below.

For Option 1: Reboot your computer and login. If all goes well, your Home Assistant VM (or whatever VM you want) should startup automatically in the background, without the VM Workstation GUI!

For Option 2: Reboot your computer but do not log in. Wait about 1-2 minutes, then open the Home Assistant mobile app. If all goes well, the scheduled task should’ve ran and your Home Assistant VM should be running in the background without a gui!

During your testing, you should toggle both zwave and zigbee devices to ensure the USB drive was detected.

Let me know in the comments below if this guide helped you out!

Here is some of the gear I use in my Homelab. I highly recommend each of them.

The full list of server components I use can be found on my Equipment List page.

How to start vmware workstation?

Answer


Muskogee's Ark of Faith could find temporary space at a former coffee shop as it recovers from a fire earlier this month.

Fire tore through part of the ministry's historic building, 401 E. Broadway, the evening of March 7. The building, constructed in 1913, originally housed the Carnegie Library.

Muskogee Fire Marshal Aaron Mayhugh said cause of the fire remains under investigation, but electrical problems could be a factor.

The Ark is preparing to move temporarily to the former Jim and Em's Coffee, 618 E. Okmulgee Ave., said Garry Weiesnbach, husband of Ark Founder and Executive Director Sally Weiesnbach. The shop was in a house next to First United Methodist Church.

"From our temporary building, we'll probably be having coffee houses again," Garry Weiesnbach said, adding that the Ark also could resume such activities as music classes and deaf signing classes.

Ark Foundation Board Vice President William Troup, who owns the house, said he'd bypass rent on the building.

"We've got to get something up and running," Troup said. "The plan is to have that building up and everything moved into it in two weeks, if at all possible."

This week, Ark officials, workers and volunteers took advantage of free dumping and trash collections this week at the Muskogee landfill to dispose of debris around the property.

Duane Westman, who helped on Friday, said the Ark made a difference in his life. He said he had been homeless for 22 years.

"I was at Gospel Rescue Mission, and Sally offered me the job as night watchman," Westman said. "So I lived out here and worked here for nine months."

He said Sally Weiesnbach is a warm person, but strict.

"She used to be a teacher, so she's on the strict side," he said. "She helped me a lot to get back into the community."

Garry Weiesnbach said they are waiting to be granted access to the burned library building so they can clean inside.

"We could still not work there until we get a licensed plumber to pass it, and the gas," he said. "We're going to have to get electricians in there."

He said it might be a year until the Ark can at least partly move back into the former library, and even then it could only be into the library's first floor and basement.

"It might take a few more years to repair the chapel and the second floor, which features murals painted in 1937 by noted artist Acee Blue Eagle.

Sally Weiesnbach said she values the many people who have offered to help since the fire.

"I am surprised at so much love," she said. "It comes from all over, and I want to return it as long as I can."

"This has been a growth for me," she said. "God has been faithful, and God does not tell untruths. We may have to wait a little longer, but I believe they are going to restore the building, because it's historic."

She said that for now, the Ark continues to distribute sandwiches outside the library around noon each Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

"We're feeding the homeless," Weiesnbach said. "We're feeding people from the front steps with food from restaurants. They're being loyal."
