This is a known issue affecting VMware ESXi 6.0, ESXi 6.5 and ESXi 6.7.
Windows VMwareTools 10.3.10 and later has a vmxnet3 driver with a feature for a restriction not to allow receive checksum offload to be disabled and RSC to be enabled.
Workaround:
To work around this issue, use one of these options:
- Disable RSC, if any of receive checksum offloads is disabled.
- Manually enable receive checksum offloads using the following commands in Windows PowerShell:
