com.vmware.VMMonHelper
VMMonHelper is a launchDaemon component of VMware Fusion or VMware Workstation Pro. It runs in the background to manage the virtual machine monitor subsystem, handling core hypervisor operations, memory management, and communication between the host macOS system and virtual machines running inside VMware. This helper is essential to the function of VMware's virtualization platform and is not separately installed or updated.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionVMMonHelper is a system component embedded within VMware Fusion or VMware Workstation Pro, not a standalone application. It cannot be updated separately. To ensure VMMonHelper supports Apple Silicon natively, you must update the parent VMware product itself. Check your VMware Fusion or Workstation Pro version by opening the application and going to VMware → About VMware Fusion (or Workstation Pro). VMware Fusion version 13 and later includes native Apple Silicon support with arm64 components including VMMonHelper. If you are running an older Intel-only build of Fusion or Workstation Pro, reinstall or update from VMware's official website to get the latest native build. Use VMware's built-in software updater (Help → Check for Updates) or visit vmware.com directly to download the current version for Apple Silicon. As Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), it is important to update your VMware product to a native build well before that deadline to ensure continued operation.
