    Vmware Wont Open a Virtual machine


    I have been trying to open a virtual machine but nothing happens.

    I did have Bitdefender installed but I've removed that (you can't add exclusions in the free version it seems),

    So I'm at a loss as to what is causing this. The only security I have running at the moment is Defender.

    It worked a few days ago.

    It can open existing machines ok.

    I followed the suggestion I found in another post that resolved this issue for me.

    1. I uninstalled VMWare Tools from the Windows 10 virtual machine.

    Hi there

    something is broken on your HOST OS if programs don't start.

    VMware is working perfectly (version 12.5.5) .

    Try checking on the HOST system if system files broken or whether you still have pending (Windows HOST) updates not applied or not applied properly.

    Cheers
