TortoiseSVN - no overlay icons in a VM with Windows 10 on a shared Mac folder

I have a MacBook Pro with OS 10.11.5 and Vmware Fusion 8.1.1 is installed. In Fusion I have a Windows 10 (64 Bit, Ent.) running, where I have a (vmware) shared folder from the Mac OS. This shared folder contains a Subversion Repository which is on the Mac in an encrypted Volume (a TrueCrypt-Volume mounted with VeraCrypt).

To see these handy overlay icons in Windows (if files changed etc.) I installed TortoiseSVN (64 bit, 1.9.4), but no Overlay Icons are visible in W10.

I tried the solutions in: TortoiseSVN icons overlay not showing after updating to Windows 10 but all the hints there didn't help. I think the issue is related to Fusion's shared folder, because local repos do show overlay icons in W10. I activated all drive checkboxes in TortoiseSVN settings but nothing changed.

I know that it is not a good idea to share a repo through different OS: SVN control of a shared virtual machine folder but I don't want to do any commit stuff (anymore) in Windows, I just want to see the overlay icons, which are missing in Mac's OS X subversion. And even with TortoiseSVN installed, I can commit files on the Mac without errors, if I just never touch the commit or checkout functions in W10-TortoiseSVN.

Is there anything else, I can do to see these useful overlay icons?

Thanks frank

TortoiseSVN does not show status icons for working copies located on network shares, by default. Read the FAQ | Why are the icons only visible on local and not on network drives?.

And don't confuse Subversion working copy with a repository.
