KB4517211 causes VMware Workstation Pro 14.1.7 to fail

"VMware Workstation Pro can't run on Windows" Message - Windows 10 Help Forums

better solutions to fix rather than uninstalling the update....

Either reg fix or compatibility administrator tool

For compatibility administrator tool, only need to install 1st one on list and unselect the rest (only a 7.7Meg install)

Problem With Run VMware Workstation 14 and its Player

Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is William. I'm a Windows technical expert. I'll be happy to help you out today.

Does the option "Run the program without getting help" work? If no, you can resolve this by moving to VMWare 15. Otherwise, to run ver 14, there are a couple links in this article that provide workarounds:

Upgrade to Windows 10 asking to uninstlal VMware Workstation

Hi Tony,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues while updating your PC to Windows 10 as it is asking to uninstall VMware Workstation on your PC.



Ideally, during the upgrade if any application is incompatible with Windows 10 then the setup will ask you to remove the application in order to complete the installation without any errors.



However, during my research I found that if you are using VMware 15.1 or above then you can successfully upgrade to Windows 10. You may want to try updating the version of VMware Workstation installed on the PC and then see if you are able to complete
the upgrade.



The updated version of VMware Workstation is available on the
VMware website



Let us know how it goes.
