The name of the snapshot is the date and time that the virtual machine was powered off and the description is Automatic snapshot created when powering off. The snapshot appears in the Snapshot Manager. Takes a snapshot of the virtual machine state after it is powered off. When you revert to a snapshot, you return the memory, settings, and virtual disks of the virtual machine to the state that they were in when you took the snapshot. Revert to the parent snapshot of the current state of the virtual machine. Power off the virtual machine without making any changes to snapshots. Expand (extend a virtual hard disk) For example, from the moment you create at least one snapshot on a virtual machine, you will no longer be able to extend the virtual hard disk of the virtual machine. To configure snapshot options for a selected virtual machine, select VM > Settings, click the Options tab, and select Snapshots. As you can see, snapshots allow you to do a lot of things, but it also implies some limitations for some features of VMware Workstation.

A snapshot captures the entire state of the virtual machine at the time you take the snapshot, including the contents of the virtual machine memory, the virtual machine settings, and the state of all virtual disks. When you take a snapshot, Workstation Pro preserves the state of a virtual machine so that you can return to the same state repeatedly.
