vmware-tools-userd is a LaunchAgent helper component of VMware Tools, the official guest utilities suite for VMware virtual machines running on macOS. It runs in the background to provide core functionality including network configuration, device support, file sharing, and communication between the guest OS and the VMware hypervisor. This component is not separately installable and is bundled as part of the complete VMware Tools package.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis is a helper component of VMware Tools, not a standalone app, so it cannot be updated independently. To ensure a native Apple Silicon build of vmware-tools-userd, you must update VMware Tools itself through VMware's official installer. Visit VMware's downloads page, locate the VMware Tools package for macOS, and install the latest version available for your version of VMware Fusion or ESXi. The installer will automatically place the native (if available) or current Intel build of all components, including vmware-tools-userd, on your system. Check VMware's release notes to confirm that your version of VMware Tools and VMware Fusion or Workstation ships a native Apple Silicon build; recent releases do include native support, but older versions do not.
