This looks like a problem with either the display drivers or the virtualization. We would suggest updating the following components to see if it fixes the problem: 1. Java 2. VMWare tools 3. VMWare Workstation

According to VMWare's guest OS compatibility guide, it looks like Windows 10 guests might only be fully supported on version 12: http://partnerweb.vmware.com/comp_guide2/pdf/VMware_GOS_Compatibility_Guide.pdf It's not clear that this is the cause of the problem, but upgrading VMWare to a compatible version might help.

I have the same issue on Ubuntu 16.04, not virtualised.

Pedro - can you try removing and reinstalling the latest version of Java? Or use the platform installer for Burp?
