I hope this is user-error on my part, but it seems the auto start of virtual machines is once again broken!
I have a virtual machine marked to start automatically, but it ONLY makes it to initial launch screen (black screen with big play button). It requires me to actually click the big PLAY button to start the virtual machine.
I know this feature was once removed and only after much bitching from the community here was it brought back.
Thanks.
Ironically, we went through this in 2011 - Autolaunch of VMs with Fusion 4
