Fix macOS Catalina Stuck on Apple Logo When Installing on VMware

When installing macOS Catalina on VMware, we need some required files such as macOS Catalina ISO or macOS Catalina VMDK. Second, we need VMware Workstation, and third, we need Unlocker for VMware Patch Tool. The files are easy to get so once they are with you, you can install macOS Catalina on VMware. But that isn’t as easy as it seems like. From the steps, it looks pretty easy but when it comes in actual, it makes users struggle. Meanwhile the process, we need to change the OS to Windows instead of macOS which most users forget. Most commonly users encounter one of the common and similar problems we’ve already made the fix. The list is below. In this post, I’ll show how to fix macOS Catalina Stuck on Apple Logo when installing on VMware.

Change Guest OS To Windows 10 x64

Whatever the cause of the problem, the fix is probably with us. The first and most effective solution to this problem is changing the Guest OS to Windows x64 bit. As most users forget about this, they can’t realize what they are lacking so in this case, we’ll check and we suspect the problem is due to this and it can be solved with this trick. Go ahead and fix it.

It’s worth knowing that this method also works for fixing macOS Catalina and other versions stuck on the Apple logo on VMware Workstation and VMware Fusion.

First off, switch off the machine from VMware Workstation or VMware Fusion.

From the top, click on the close button and select Shut down the Machine.

In this step, head over to the options tab and select Microsoft Windows in the Guest OS section and then select Windows x64 bit for the version and at last click on OK. If it’s already on Microsoft Windows 10 x64 then change it back to Apple MacOSX 10.15.

So that’s done now. Start the machine from the switch button and it will continue installation.
