Download EXCLUSIVE Vmware Fusion 10

Yes, just right click on the virtual machine file (on your mac), select "Show Package Contents", then select the first file that says "Your Operating System" -s001.vmdk or the biggest file and copy it to your flash drive or whatever you are going to use to transfer it to your windows machine. That .vmdk file is compatable with vmware workstation and virtualbox (a free version by oracle, but you need hardware acceleration).
If your using vmware fusion, do not upgrade to sonoma, as there is a extremely serious bug.
The vertual machines do not work at all with voiceover enabled.
If you try and start up a vertual machine and voiceover is enabled, as soon as you press start up, the vm will start up for a second, and then it'll crash and take you back to the, start up, button.
However if you try starting up the vertual machine and voiceover is off, the machine will run without any problems whatsoever. However if you then enable voiceover once again when you got the vvertual machine to run, it'll crash once again, and bring you back to the start up, button.
I already reported this bug to apple accessibility, however I need help from yoll here, to report it as well, as this is a extremely serious bug.
Also, using a 2018 macbook pro, intel i7, 32gigs of ram, however that's not of much importance I think.
Edit, here's a screen recording of the bug.

Also, here's the feedback id, for reference,

If anyone else reports this, reference that feedback ID.
Also for reference, I've tried absolutely everything; completely uninstalling vmware fusion, complete reinstall of macos sonoma, upgrating to the latest version, formating of the drive and reinstalling sonoma completely and reinstalling vmware fusion... Nothing works. And when testing with a sighted person, I was told, that when voiceover was off and he tried starting the vm, no problems; but when he did the same with voiceover on... It didn't start at all. It just made as if it wanted to start, and completely crashed.
I cant figure out out how. Do you have a contact email or something so I can report the bug to vmware as well as apple accessibility? I tried using technical support, but cannot do so as apparently I do not have any qualifying products, I'm using vmware fusion player with personal license, so I guess that's why I cannot file a technical support request, so is there any other way of contacting vmware?
I Checked VMWare Kernel extensions (using 'kextstat grep vmware') and all 4 are there. I don't have a Screen Recording entry in Privacy tab but I do have a Camera and Microphone and they are set to allow VMware Fusion.
I have now tried the obvious solutions like restarting Network Manager, assigning fixed IP address, installing VMWare tools from Fusion repository; no change. Installed Ubuntu again in a new VM; same result. More desperately, I tried to re-generate the NetworkInterfaces.plist on the Mac; no change.
The logfile vmware.log is quite a huge document, I found some relevant messages, but I can't figure it out. Has anyone here ever dealt with this not entirely unknown problem and also come to results?
