Workstation 16.2.x failed to power on

jiansworld — Tue, 28 Dec 2021 13:24:56 GMT

After the third attempt of re-creating a new VM and taking snapshots along the way. I still have an issue where I can use the VM all day then power down, next day, Failed to Power on the message. Restoring and trying the snapshots as I created the Vm does not work.

This has happened on Windows 10 21H1 and Windows 11

Have not attempted to downgrade VM WorkPro as of yet. Seems a number of issues with 16.2.x are presented here.

Post a screenshot of your “failed to power on” message.

We can close this topic. I reloaded it all.

But the screenshot would show the standard-default message of Failed to power on then pat to VM file.
