RT, i upgraded the host OS to win10 1903 a few days ago. then i found vmware can't report battery info to guest OS. if the guest os is win98se, the guest OS will hang during boot. if the guest os is winme, it will hang when you open power management -> power meter tab. if the guest os are others eg. 98/2k/xp/vista/7……, it displays the battery level 0%. if you unplug the ac adapter to use battery, the guest os will say the battery is low. i tried vm 14.1.7 & 15.0.4, they are all same.
the screenshot below is winme. in this picture i switched to the power meter tab but the content is still the tab power scheme. it already hung.
this is win98 original not 98se. the battery level is 0%
