VMWare Workstation Pro can't run on Windows

I

I got this when I was trying to start 15.5.0 Version of VMware Workstation after updating it and also got same message after downgrading version to 15.0.2 .

I tried to use it in different compatibility mode but It's not fixed.

Solution

  • There are various ways to solve this :

    1. Uninstall windows updates and block them from reinstalling using "Show or hide troubleshooter". This tool can be downloaded from microsoft official website.

    2. Install ADK and use compatibility administrator to "Disable entry" for vmware.exe.
