DiskHelper is a launchDaemon component bundled with VMware Fusion, VMware's virtualization software for macOS. It provides background disk-access and mount-point management services that support the host virtualization engine. Users do not interact with DiskHelper directly — it runs automatically as part of VMware Fusion's operation and is not separately configurable.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionDiskHelper is not a standalone application but a system daemon embedded within VMware Fusion. It cannot be updated separately. To get a native Apple Silicon-compatible version of DiskHelper, you must update VMware Fusion itself to version 13.0.0 or later, which includes native Apple Silicon support and a compatible native build of DiskHelper. Update VMware Fusion by launching the application, going to VMware Fusion → Check for Updates, or by visiting vmware.com/products/fusion to download the latest installer manually. After updating the host application, the DiskHelper daemon will automatically run natively on M-series Macs without any additional configuration needed.
