My colleague Eric Gray blogged about this functionality being added for pvscsi back in August last year here, and customer feedback has shown that this has been a popular feature. This means that you can now update both this and the pvscsi driver as a part of your regular Windows patching cadence, reducing the required number of reboots. In 10.3.10 of VMware Tools for Windows we have made the vmxnet3 driver available through Windows Update for Windows Server 2016. Updates for Windows Guest Operating Systems It also includes a security fix for the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) driver.


This release includes updates to the Open Source components glib, openssl and libxml2. This blogpost explains both of these, and why you might want to consider upgrading. In vSphere 6.7 Update 2 we also introduce a new version of VM Compatibility (formerly known as Virtual Hardware). On that note I’m pleased to announce that the latest release of the VMware Tools 10.3 codebase is now available for download. With VMware Tools version 10.0 VMware took the decision to separate it’s release cycle from that of vSphere.
